Langston Hughes - "Mother to Son" All parents, especially mothers, want to see their children be successful in life no matter how big or small their child’s ambitions might be. Mothers are always there for their kids, teaching them and helping them in every way possible. Their unconditional love and adoration for their children is a very special thing, and it is not something that can be recreated very easily. Langston Hughes, however, wrote a poem that was published in 1922 called “Mother to Son” where he is able to embody the entire mother to son bond, hence the title. Hughes writes from the standpoint of a loving mother who has gone through her fair share of hardships in her life, but has never stopped and given up.
