These lines are taken from the poem "Dreams" (it begins with "Hold fast to dreams"). The poet is Langston Hughes, the American poet of the Harlem Renaissance.

By "Life is a broken-winged bird / That cannot fly", the poet means that a life without dreams is like a bird whose wings are broken. A bird with broken wings cannot rise, move freely or reach anywhere. In the same way, a person who has lost his dreams loses hope, purpose and direction, and cannot rise above the hardships of life. Dreams give us the strength and inspiration to move forward, so we must hold on to them.
