In her new poetry collection, A Glimpse of His Glory, author Leila Hayes explores the ups and downs of life. She considers the deep valleys that we find ourselves in sometimes, the high mountains that we must climb, the highs and lows of human experiences, and the ins and outs of bad situations. From the cradle to the grave, we are bombarded with difficulties and trials. These poems examine what humanity goes through daily and takes a long look at the big, beautiful, and wondrous world of nature—all that is in it and all that it has to offer. The verses paint vivid images of the sky, the constellations, the galaxies, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Milky Way. Nature comes from God, and He uses it to teach us some very valuable and important lessons. Smile Anyway It’s hard to smile when you are hurting, When your heart and soul are almost breaking, But try to hold your head high, And keep a bright light in your eye, And trust Him for all your tomorrows.
