This 3 line poem by Langston Hughes encourages the reader to hold onto their dreams, as without dreams life has no purpose or ability to take flight. If one's dreams are lost, life becomes empty and bleak like a snow-covered field.
2. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die
Life is a broken winged bird That ca
nnot fly. Hold fast to dreams For whe
n dreams go Life is a barren field Fr
ozen with snow.
