Today’s Writing into the Day podcast will be featuring a poem by Langston Hughes, “Mother to Son.” Have your pen or pencil out and be ready to write! As I read this poem, I want you to think about difficult times or challenges you have encountered. Have you ever received or taken advice that helped you keep going? Has anyone ever been there for you during a troubling or challenging time? This mother uses the metaphor of life being like a staircase to give her son some advice.
