Who We Are - Ward Thomas

I found myself acting like you do today

Repeating words that would say

I wonder if you meant to be so easy to read

Only making sense in your own way

Do you know how fearless you are

And how much we have grown to appreciate the scars

So much of you has taken us this far

Your influence has left a lasting mark

Though it took some time to realise

It’s no surprise it’s part of who we are

I caught myself thinking aloud like you do

Thoughts I never meant to turn to words

I’d like to think that I could be as selfless

As you are always putting other people first

Do you know how fearless you are

And how much we have grown to appreciate the scars

So much of you has taken us this far

Your influence has left a lasting mark

Though it took some time to realise

It’s no surprise it’s part of who we are

I never want to reach the day

When I’m not learning from your every way

Your words will always stay

We know it isn’t easy to be on your own

But you’ve inspired us and made a happy home

Do you know how fearless you are

And how much we have grown to appreciate the scars

So much of you has taken us this far

Your influence has left a lasting mark

Though it took some time to realise

It comes as no surprise…

Your who we are
