A friend of mine was talking about how she read and really liked a poem by Langston Hughes. It's called My People.

I had heard the name before, but hadn't read any of his work

After doing a quick search on him, I found this poem that I liked:

-----------------

Dreams
by Langston Hughes

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.

------------------------

Hope you liked it too.
