Analysis of A Moment's Glory



A new rising dawn
Flower petals dotted with dew
The whippoorwill's distant song
A cloudless sky of blue

Fruits of the vine
Laughing springs that run away
Dancing rains
A golden autumn day

Snow capped mountains
Rolling meadows green
Endless oceans
Abundant life unseen

Whispers of a fresh Spring breeze
Birds set to flight
A fawn peering from the bush
The hush of a cool summer night

The laughter of a child
A good night kiss
A sweet loving smile
God's greatest gifts

A moments glory
A gentle uplift
