For Joe…..

There once was a man
So full of might.
He lived life to its fullest
Especially from a great height.
“What could possibly go wrong”
Was what his friends would hear.
Life is to be lived
Lived without fear.
He had a love for his family
His friends and his work.
He loved to make others money
And often did it with a smirk.
He bought joy to so many
He had a heart of gold.
He loved the outdoors
When he was born god really broke the mould.
From paddock to playground
This great man felt at home.
For he lived his life with a freedom
That allowed him to roam.
While his skiing prowess
Was admired by all.
He was always there to help others
If they were to fall.
He was known for his pranks
And enjoyed a good laugh.
He spent time with his mates
He did not live life by half.
This great man’s name was Joe
Say his name out loud.
Because how this man lived
Made everyone proud.
While he is no longer on this earth
He leaves a legacy of love.
And his family and friends know
He will always be watching over them from above.
