44.Earrings

 Earrings *

My mom had given me her first earnings which is a earring of gold

My father had made efforts to keep ready my wedding jewellery of gold 

This is a instance of 2017 when attended my cousin's wedding buzz

I paired my mom's earrings with the jhumka which dad made and went in bus 

The wind was too much 

I didn't notice such 

But as I my stop was approaching I felt something is missing for sure

I was in panic when I saw my one side of earring was not there anymore 

Firstly it has sentimental value old 

Secondly its valuable as is made of gold 

I was not sure if the earrings fell outside bus due to wind 

Or do I hope to search within bus and find 

Finally beneath my seat I found the jhumka hanging

And the earring was covered with the dirt ready to swing 

I can't remember how much I thanked god for getting me something I thought I almost lost 

I could never estimate the amount of loss at any cost 

By this I took the learning to never wear precious jewellery when choosing public transport 

I need to be cautious, careful and be ready to face any issue if ever happens of similar sort 

Earrings for me not just adds beauty 

It also gives me confidence and helps me perform well in my duty 

Especially when I am too low ,I wear the one that mom gave

It instantly boosts up my confidence and from extreme situations it saves

The topic on earrings brought back my memories old 

And also the learnings I took when I lost my earrings of gold !!!
