Beneath the emerald leaves, it sways,
In the warm, sweet breeze of holiday days,
A gift from nature, round and green,
A treasure on the islands, so serene.
O Breadfruit! Thy bountiful sphere,
Brimming with nutrients, all so dear.
Fiber to fill, and energy to lift,
Vitamins that give the heart a swift.
With potassium high, and gluten low,
Into the oven, you proudly go.
Roasted or fried, in dishes so bright,
You light up the table on this holy night.
In the glow of the lights, so merry and bright,
We savor your goodness on this Christmas night.
A symbol of giving, from the earth to our plate,
Dear breadfruit, your health benefits we celebrate.
So here’s to you, on this festive spree,
A fruit of wonder, strong and free.
May your branches ever bear, in tropical sun,
A fruit so hearty, feeding everyone.
In every bite, a story told,
Of Christmas joy and health untold.
Breadfruit, on this yuletide, we hail to thee,
A symbol of life, and a healthy spree.
