Simple as in Object-Verb-Subject style, and not comparative or "to be"?
qep'a' luqellu'DI' reH qaq ben net noH.
When considering /qep'a'mey/, the years past always seem better.
This is a very loose translation, of course, and it could have been better
constructed. But I think it works.
Or we can play with the topic idea:
qep'a'mey'e' reH qaq ben net noH.
Considering /qep'a'mey/, the years past always seem better.
I definitely like this better than starting with /qep'a'mey luqellu'DI'/.
Of course, I can fail to meet your criteria with a better-worded sentence:
reH qaq ben qep'a'mey net noH.
/qep'a'mey/ of years past always seem better.
