The Gift's My Father Gave

I might not remember all the presents you brought me, and I'm pretty sure I've lost most of them, but here are somethings you gave me.
Thank you for:
The tennis lesson that taught me the importance of ducking
The cooking lesson that taught me the right meal can brighten anyone's day
Your stubbornness so I will always stand strong in my convection
Your eyes so I can see beauty isn't just skin deep
Your temper that gave me the energy to always argue till they see my point
Your wisdom so I can pause long enough in arguments to see someone else's point
Your love that made me the caring person I am.
Thank you for being not just a dad but a father and for giving me some of the most important gifts I've ever received
