Ageing
Irish proverb says: "Don't regret
growing older. It is a privilege
denied to many." Ageing is only
a process, one need to accept
with ease for a peaceful living.
Old age doesn't define a person wholly;
It’s one's attitudes, action does explain.
Why link ageing with one's image?
One shouldn’t let perceptions coldly
to prevail to dim her brilliance, to deign.
Doing what makes one to show intellect
is a form of self-care only.
Yet, when one treats self with self-love, respect
positive thoughts help to change the mindset.

Termed as “Gadget” Sonnet, as they have refrain, or have construction or length requirements which
fall outside of the “standard” sonnet area, which generally vary only in meter, line-length, rhyme
pattern or volta requirements.
