What makes a gift special Is it the price you see
on the gift receipt Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive
it that determines the true value What gift is worth the most
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to
buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text
message from my morn saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him
when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from
my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath
a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the
bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I
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
morn to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of
the cream-colored 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.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ______.
A. the father
