Have you ever noticed,
How the young pine trees glow?
How dull the grown trees appear,
In contrast to their youth

When people step into the sun
They squint, they sneeze, they snuffle
But they also glow
As the young pine trees do

As people grow older,
Their radiance fades slightly
They follow the great pines
As their life grows darker

But those who have love
Peace, hope and faith
They will glow
They will glow

I wrote this piece while i was away at camp. The beautiful scenery inspired me to write, and it turned into this poem.
