Analysis of The box made of dreams.



The box made from dreams.

Build yourself a box. And make each part with care when it's strong enough. Put all your troubles in there. Then take another look, and you will see there's nothing there. Then put in it all your thoughts, failures, and sorrows. Then sit on it and laugh; don't tell anyone its contents; never share it's secrets; throw away the key; if you did, hide it on a shelf out of sight; now that your dreams are locked in the box, there won't be any more knocks on the door of that, I'm sure.
