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.

Your answers for #2 and #4 are correct. In #2, the meaning of the metaphor "Life is a broken-winged bird" is that without dreams, life becomes limited and unable to reach its full potential, just like a bird with a broken wing cannot fly. In #4, the meaning of the metaphor "Life is a barren field frozen with snow" is that without dreams, life becomes empty and unfulfilling, similar to a field covered in snow where nothing can grow or thrive. Well done!
