I gaze upon the landscape of the world:
Mountains, hills, valleys appear endlessly.
Showing the beauty of life as a pearl,
Nostalgic feelings surge relentlessly.

Disappointments vanish defiantly.
Failures lose meaning against the backdrop.
Heartache's indentation made shadowy.
Days of toils, no longer viewed as a flop.

Beholding the bounty of nature's crop,
Expectations of better times surface.
Replacing dark times which made life stop,
The rays of sunshine establish purpose;

Dispelling doubts, despairs, bringing relief,
Sweeping away years of sadness and grief.
