- Theme :ย My colorful world
A kaleidoscope of colors, nature bestows,
To my mortal eyesโa feast heavenly,
For the diverse gifts, my gratitude grows.
Fragrant blooms in unending rows,
Adorning a vivid spectrum they bob their heads sprightly,
A kaleidoscope of colors, nature bestows.
The azure sky is replete with stellar shows,
Celestial serenades sculpt the heavens ebony,
For the diverse gifts, my gratitude grows.
In the shades of autumn- every leaf glows,
Together they weave a glamorous canopy,
A kaleidoscope of colors, nature bestows.
During winter, nature manifests herself in poetic prose,
Pristine white landscape seems otherworldly,
For the diverse gifts, my gratitude grows.
Whenever my tired mind struggles amidst dreary shadows,
SHE brightens my life in ways I can see,
A kaleidoscope of colors, nature bestows,
For the diverse gifts, my gratitude grows.
