The word **Bare** has a lot of meaning to the poem because before, Langston Hughes, is trying to get through the readers head that the mother had a rough with not growing up like every girl's dream, with fancy shoes, or a big house, or an expensive car. Rather, he was saying from the mother point of view that, "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."======
