My Jewels Box! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
My Jewels Box!
I lost few things to the time
Which I had kept secured in my jewels box
Everyday I wiped and cleaned it as if they were mine.
I gained few things in course of time
Which I had kept away from my treasure box
As I felt it was never mine.
Nothing I did to nurture it,
Unexpectedly it fell into my jewels box again.
Something I lost forever
Something I gained too
But here onwards I will never make
A mistake of telling
This is forever mine.
Nothing is mine
Nothing can be ever mine.
A jewel of trust I lost it forever, which I am never going to gain hereafter.
I lost it forever!
Something I gained
Something I lost
Whatever I gained and lost was somewhere mine at some point of time.
I may loose further and may gain too.
So my jewels in my box will keeps on reshuffling along with the time!
Can I ever tell confidently this jewel is ever mine?

In life we gain some and lose some. But if we can keep a logbook of it, we can gain an understanding of our gains and losses and that is what this poem beautifully conveys.
Something I lost forever something I gained again, value based life is marvellous and values are the nice jewels box. Excellent writing.
Life is a jewel box full of jewels of memories. One may say those jewels are one's own, I hope. About material things, it is true that nothing belongs to someone. Beautiful poem providing great philosophy of life.
In the course of life, some jewels we gain and some we lose! It is quite natural.....! As nothing is ours, even if we lose some of our material possessions, we don't have to regret over them much! 'Let things come and go'.... If we develop such an attitude, life will be easier! Ultimately we leave the world with nothing in our hands..... this thought helps us to see our losses in a better light! Great poem Geetha!
so beautifully expressed the sorrows and happiness of our lives that become jewels of our treasure box....each experience of our journey is precious even if some give pain yet they chisel our personality into finer beings.....10/10
