Analysis of Glimpse of God
Lene' Mumaugh 1961 (Billings, Montana)
The purity of a child
So beautiful and small
Portrays a glimpse of God
A wonder to us all
Gaze toward the mountain range
Through the frame of trees
Another glimpse of God
For all of us to see
Look into your pet's face
Their eyes reveal an unconditional love
That only can be given
From Someone up above.
A touch of someone's hand
To gesture that they care
Another glimpse
God is everywhere
