1) This poem is about how hard the mother has had it in her life and how she wants better for him and is telling him even though she's been through a lot, she's still going on with her life and that he doesn't have to go through the same hard times she went through.
2) The theme is struggles, or maybe even slavery.
3) Th mother wants her son to succeed, and not reach a low point in his life like she has in hers. And that life may be tough but he still has to keep going on with it, just like she has.
4) Tacks and splinters would be the metaphors because they both hurt.
