Notes About The Poem

Written 25th September 2025

For the contest 'I am a Tree' - Sponsored by Tania Kitchen -  Not placed

 

 

 

A Cheery Festive Tree

I am a cheery festive Christmas tree
No surprise, folk truly do adore me
They decorate me with baubles and lights
I fill kiddies hearts with yuletide delights
They relish the chocolate money bags
Love the angels dressed in sparkly glad rags 
They'll sing carols around me, it's such fun
Life as a Christmas tree is never glum
I'm blessed to be part of the holy joy 
Bringing memories to each girl and boy.
