Dreams by Langston Hughes



Hughes urges people to hold on to dreams because without them, life is meaningless.  Dreams are what constitutes the meaning of a persons life, and we can not let them go, "Hold fast to dreams/For if dreams die/ Life is a broken-winged bird/That cannot fly."  Hughes then compares losing dreams to life being a "barren field/Frozen with snow."  If men can not dream, they can not hope.  I find this poem inspiring because it pertains to everyone.  Never give up on your dream.  Dreams are what we yearn for in life, and without dreams, life because boring and "barren."
