Martha -- I don't have a daughter, but I (obviously) am one. My mom gave me the first book, and in some way or another, all the gifts represented by the other titles. So more than a poem about the giving of gifts, this is actually a thank you poem. But you didn't need to know that for it to ring true for you...and that's one of the things I love about poetry!
