These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,

so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you,
and so that you may enjoy long life.

Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you, Isaiah 54:12-14

Prayer For The Children

Father in the name of Jesus, we lift up the children to You in prayery, thanking You for the blood covering, thanking You for covering them from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet with the precious blood of Jesus!

Thank You for blood washing their eyes, their ears, and their mouths, so that they may see through Your eyes, so that  may hear Your voice, so that they will speak forth Your words, words of life, words of encouragement, words of inspiration, bless the children O God!

O keep their soul, and deliver them: let the children not be ashamed that they put their trust in You.  Let integrity and uprightness preserve the children; for they wait on thee.   Redeem the children O God, out of all their troubles. according to Your Word in

Psalm 25:20-22

Tamar's Summary of Langston Hughes Poem:


Mother to Son byLangston Hughes

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 you set down on the steps.

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now—

For I'se still goin', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Tamar's Summary Of  Langston Hughes Poem

There are no literary tools in the poem "Mother to Son" that I know of. I think that this poem is about how the African American  life is full of trials and tribulations.

It shows that you should press on and never give up.
In the eleventh verse, going into the dark means going into a place where there is persecution, misfortunes, and oppression. The fourteenth verse means that you shouldn't give up just because you're tired.
