The original story of the prodigal son is very touching but is written as all bible stories are written and that is to put anyone to sleep.

"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother.

She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"
