Mother to Son by Langston Hughes

Well, son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor-

Bare.

But all the time.

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light.

So boy, don't you turn back.

Don't set you down on the steps

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now-

For I'se still going', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair

Cool poem, huh? I like it lots! Sorry I haven't updated I sometimes forget I have a web journal. Theres been lots going on in my life during the time that I didn't update. I went to my christmas program cuz duh I had to be in it! That was cool. We were standing like statues, eh like a frozen play. Everyone was saying that it looked beautiful. My mom took lotsa pics so I can have lotsa memories about it. The day after that our angel buddies had their christmas program. This is the first year that my school lets the 8th graders be in the program with them. We were just townspeople showing our angel buddies where to go to. The program was so adorable! The dummer boy...lol. He was awesome! After the angel buddies formed the nativity set there was a special surprise! SANTA CLAUSE! lol He appeared in the gym and all the kids went crazy. My angel buddy was like, "JOANN! It's Santa Clause!" lol Heather's angel buddy was crying cuz he was scared of Santa. Then all the kids shook his hand and were standing up proudly as if they just touched God's hand or something. lol It was really cute and I'm so happy the 8th graders could be in the program this year. Yesterday, my church had it's Gran Posada. That's where Mary and Joesph go from door to door looking for a place to stay. That was actually pretty fun! I was an angel in my christmas program and in the posada. There was lotsa cameras there, I felt like a movie star.

This morning I finished my study guide for the History final! Yay! Now I'm just waiting for my sis to get home.

Bye bye.
