Poetry Friday: A Poem for the New Year
A new year, a time to remember the importance of holding onto dreams
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.
A Year of Readingis hosting the Poetry Friday round-up. Thank you Mary Lee and Franki.
Happy New Year. Happy Reading.
