This poem focuses on black women's sacrifices to ensure their children's educations. It mainly celebrates the women of her mothers' era, who was a maid and wife to a failed sharecropper. The figurative language she uses highlights their strength and bravery they held and used, to try and make their kids' lives better so they could hold better opportunities.
