Dreams by Langston Hughes

I have read this poem plenty of times. The poem, “Dreams” by Langston Hughes is so cleverly written where it can be read by a child or an adult searching for inspiration and hope. He tells the reader to hold on to their dreams as if it is the pure essence and joy the person will have in their lifetimes. He believes that if a person doesn’t possess any dreams or aspirations of any sort, they are living in what he calls life as, “Life is a barren field, Frozen with snow.” Dreams add color to life and the poet is pushing people to hold on to dreams, no matter if they are impossible or not. This poem has inspired me to follow my dream of writing endlessly.
