These three poems are very touchy all those are referring to someone.
"The Chimney Sweeper"
 This poem looks like the father couldn’t hold his child’s, so he sold his child. In this poem we can see that the situation that the father did it. Might because economic situation. And he believe that someday everything will be better for them
Mother to Son.
After I read "Mother to Son," the mother was trying to tell her son that  about all the hard work and situations that she has go through  in her life but how it got better. Somehow letting him know that even if he thinks things are tough, they'll always get better later on, so she point out that he wouldn’t give up in his dreams or goals.
For my Daughter
   "For my Daughter," in this poem looks like the mother lost her baby. She describes the death of her daughter, "I have no daughter, I desire none" (14) it’s might be she is saying that losing a daughter made her no longer want another. In certain way, looks like she won’t to replace her for no none.

  1. What do you mean by these poems are "touchy"?
    What indicates in the poem that someday everything will be better for them-here you mean the father and son?
    Which line shows that the mother tells the son things get better?
    That last line in "For My Daughter" is a bit ambiguous, but how do you know the speaker is woman/mother?
