Black History Month – Langston Hughes – Vagabonds

There is so much emotion in this poem. When I read the words, I see have a vision of poor desperate and hungry people looking for food and shelter. In my vision, I do not see them as not caring about their predicament. I have been rich and I have been poor.

Take a moment now to look at your life, think about your dreams. How are you treating your dream, what are you doing with them? What has been your history when dealing with your dreams. Has your habit been to sit back and treat your dreams as precious untouchable things that sit in the china closet of your mind?
