Indeed, the message of the poem is very worthwhile because first, it was given and delivered by someone who knows best, a mother. The message of the poem relays to us how difficult life can be and that giving up is not an option. The only way to win against life challenges is to continue moving forward. In the modern times, wherein suicide has been rampant as one way to escape life's pressure, disappointments and failures, the message of the mother to her son is one motivation to never give up on life because life is the only worthwhile thing that has ever happened to anyone.
