was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.

　　I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream­colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.

　　Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed

　　in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
