This poem is just beautiful, it makes one to lost in the sea of poetry. I
had to choose a poet for my english class and I am so glad that I chose
him. His poems are wonderful, can't have enough words to describe. It
inspires one to write, creat something and open the talent which one is
hiding for years.

I truly believe that we are shaken by the words of many people but from a
mother to son it's a life time. This poem generates that kind of love you
can only get from a loving heart.

This poem has been carved in my mind since 7th grade. Just recently I
decided to look for it, not quite sure who the poet was. Thankfully
Langston Hughes sounded familiar. Today is my 24th birthday, and a good
day to rediscover this amazing poem. It's the perfect metephor for life.

a powerful piece of literature that explores the concept of physical and
mental strength. this is set against background filled with dejection and
lost hope.

The same as Adrian, I had been looking for this poem for ages, with the
only difference that I had less places where to look. This poem left a very
deep mark in my soul and I always wanted to have the privilege to share it
with my friends all over the world. Thank you Langston for the poem and you
at the site for this incredible opportunity!

I first read this poen in the 7th grade and now that I am current taking
some African Aamerican Literature courses I truely understand and
appreciate the context of this great poem. Langston Hughes indeed a great
writter of his times.
