Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

This is one of the best poems ive read so far the best two are Dreams, and Cross very nice poems even though I dont like to read I would sit down and read one or two langston hughes poems because they are great. If you have lived till this day I would try anything to get some of your best poems and get it signed by you. Again thanks you taught me the meaning of reading poems. They give emotional feelings which im so greatful in!

I really appreciate this poem. It enthralled me with its simple words that carry an amazing meaning. It is like a piece of advice. Whenever I read it a strong energy and motivation invade me. Come on! dream. Dreams are neither expensive nor cheap; they cost nothing. Dream! and when your dream becomes true you will fly in the happiness' air and sink in the pleasure's sea. Simply you will be indeed alive.
