Poem
He’s Hemingways whiskey, he’s vodka on ice
Smoke on the water, a roll of the dice
Magic and mirrors illusion to most
Thumbing his way from east coast to west coast

He’s lived on the brink, on the edge of a knife
He’s met with the greats on his journey through life
For us that have known him a gem in the making
The path that he’s travelled’s a journey worth taking

Enraptured by life, he’s moralitys friend
He’ll draw you right in by the beauty he pens
Enthused and endearing,. his visual insight
His words gently scripted on pages of white

Pen to the paper, ink to the quill
Bending the world to the whim of his will
Where many have faltered, he’s stood strong and proud
Barely intact, he don’t run with the crowd

You’ve slept at his side, in the depth of his charm
He’ll find you undone, but he won’t do you harm
His Devils have left him so bruised and alone
But the Devils we are, show through, clear to the bone

The tide of time’s turning, it waits for no man
But he’s done in a lifetime, more than most can
Waded in the mire, he’s cut through, in his youth 
Through Hell and high water, he’s bathed in the truth

Andrew Billy Joyce

You’ve trifled with danger, it’s kiss left you cold
In most it’s enough for their tale to be told
But there’s a book in the making, so time will allow 
For a story unravelled, to be woven somehow

Tread the grapevine with Steinbeck, trace footsteps of Twain
To each goes their own, but to us you’re the same
For to write from the heart, a man has to fall
To the depths of despair, ‘fore he answers his call

Put down on paper what your life has unfurled
Help us figure out this strangest of worlds
Though we pass through our lives, sometimes with regret
You’re a wonderous soul, we won’t want to forget

My daughters eyes opened, to all she can be
By a gift from a heart, that is full as can be
I hope and I pray, as this world nears its end
And I’m honoured and touched, for to call you my friend
