Mother to Son Response (Entry #8)

This poem by Langston Hughes really highlights the hardships that we all face. The "crystal stair" in the poem, I believe represents, the good life. As the poem goes on, it becomes a more happy poem. In the beginning, the mother talks about how she struggled through her life, but in conclusion, she states that her son should never stop going and climbing the "stairs".
I think that the reason this poem was in a women's perspective, although the author was a man, is because women are typically looked at as more delicate than men. And while she talks, you might get a sense of strength in her written words.
My response poem:
I won't stop climbing the stairs,
I can't,
but when do i reach my destination,
why am i still climbing.

I'm tired,
but i have places to go,
stairs to climb.

As I climb,
the staircases seem to get shorter,
I seem to get stronger
and before I know it,
The stairs are finally finished,
Ihave arrived.
