The Tree Keeper’s Christmas

In a quiet town where snowflakes fall,
A little tree stands proud and tall.
Clara waters it with care each day,
Whispering stories, letting wishes stay.

A fairy watches from branches high,
Her wings aglow beneath the sky.
Silent magic hums in the air,
A gift of love beyond compare.

On Christmas Eve, a star shines bright,
Upon the tree, a gentle light.
Neighbors wonder at the glow so near,
Not knowing love made it appear.

For trees remember the hearts that tend,
And kindness grows where spirits mend.
So water your trees, speak words of cheer,
Magic blooms when hearts hold dear.

Jamie Acworth December 9, 2025 at 12:28 PM Hello - this is a lovely poem ! I'd like to read this at our Christmas carol service in our local village in the UK. Is that OK? Who do I credit as the author with copyright? Thank you in advance. Jamie Acworth December 22, 2025 at 10:17 AM The Poem drew lots of praise from those who heard it - there were over 80 people who attended. I recorded the audio if you'd like to hear it read by an english female mayor. She preluded it with an explanation of why it is so relevant - our local priest has a band of around 20 volunteers who have planted many thousand trees in the local landscape - 1,500 of them in the past 2 weeks on our small farm. The act of tree planting brings the community together at the same time as addressing the climate crisis. Your poem summarised the feeling in the barn perfectly. Thank you ! Jamie Acworth December 11, 2025 at 12:42 PM I'll put your name on the program. If you share your socials with me i'll let anybody interested to follow up how to find you. Our town mayor will read your poem on Saturday. She's read it and really likes it. I'll send you feedback afterwards.
