What is it about Kobe Bryant
That makes me feel like crying
And fills my chest
With a dollop of emotion
That surges to my eyes
And fills them with salty tears
Is it his breath-taking three-pointers
His sublime gyrations in the air
As he soars to the sky
And reaches for the stars
Rising so high
Amazing human being amazing guy
Cruel isn’t he to leave
A gaping void
With his angelic daughter
Depriving us of words to utter
It is as if a supernova has
Dimmed into a black hole
Searing the innermost of our essence
And soul!
