Mother to son.

This story portrays the loving but guiding bond between mother and son. It also shows a little bit about the authors own life I think Growing up in Joplin Missouri is not the best place to grow up and is quite hard to land a job so he wrote his life story maybe he wrote it to his sons and his daughters. However maybe it was just wrote as a poem. This also shows how he and his mother had a close bond because of the discipline but the love. The figurative language in this essay takes place on a stair the stair of her life. The reason the figurative language was used for the poems behalf because of this strange way of writing it makes the poem more interesting.
