REST IN PEACE KOBE BRYANT
Everything in life,
Keeps getting hard as knife..
The death of a famous basketballer,
That once played for Los Angeles Lakers..
Tears rolls down on the face of everyone,
Kobe byrant was a favourite to everyone..
The all time record holder for Los Angeles Lakers,
He was more famous than legend of the seeker..
Kobe byrant, we yearn deeply for you
You're my favorite basketballer so true
Like a shadow you disappeared,
Despite all the fame, You vanished..
A courageous man dies ones in a life time,
We are just a debtor to death and it's not a crime
The sons of men walk in the shadow of death,
If you're still alive, give thanks for another breath...
Wade, O'Neal never hold record like Kobe byrant,
Just yesterday, you signed your death warrant
Death didn't informed us, before he took you away,
The unknown visitor never give a notice for just a day..

Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend,
You have introduced many to the game,
we learn your extent of perseverance and, determination,
without disruption,
not easy to replicate,
yet, we try to emulate.
Remember, the story doesn't end here,
your motivation and legacy will not go in vain,
to make life good,
we must look,
into your experiences and broaden our outlook.
Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend!!

Soon, I must awake
From this deep, traumatized,
Deadly, dreary, doomed, dream
Of the devil and it's advocates
Afflicting my mind
Like a plague;
A ferocious flash flood
With a dubious proclamation:
Ah! the great mamba is gone?
An Iroko tree has fallen!
The wicked, cold, cruel,
Clamy, claws of death
Has stricken Los Angeles,
And the world
With a plague deadlier
Than Pharaoh's and his kinsmen
On the day of Passover
Momentarily, the dreary, deadly
Wings of darkness
Has overshadowed and blanketed
Los Angeles, eclipsing the brilliant,
Illuminating light which shone
Forty one years over the world
Stealing away our sobriety
The great mamba?
This must be a dream!
Soon, I must awake
From this dreary, doomed slumber
To the reality
That:
the great mamba is not dead!
He is peacefully sleeping
Twenty four seven with the lord
Death you goofed on this one
Kobe, just scored a three pointer
Against the cold, clamy, claws of death!
Rest in peace Kobe!

Kobe
The man
The father
The philanthropist
The hero
The legend
The accident
The shock
Mankind suffers
The loss of its role models
Like the sun above
The world desperately needs
To shed light every day
On goodwill and compassion
To celebrate humanitarian efforts
Large and small
And not wait for tragedies
To mention in passing
Good deeds
Lost in the hype

For His forty-one years, he
thrilled us with his moves on the court.
For such a Life as this, no one wants to say goodbye.
This Champion is sadly gone. His child an aspiring
Second in his footsteps.
You wonder why a Life cut so short?
This is my tribute to a man know as Kobe.
I never saw you play, but I heard of your many triumphs.
Now you will play for my husband and sister to the place
you and your child are now going. You will always have
a place in our hearts and love in our minds.
It is not always fair when a life is cut short, But I am guessing
it is only natural in the grand skim of things when one
leaves us early they have met their destiny.
We have all your Championship tributes and videos that
will remind us of you. And like many in your category,
we will remember you.
Welcome to your Eternal Hall of Fame.
And my sincere condolences for your wife,
parents and three daughters.
So, Rest Well,
Be Well in Christ Jesus.

Another day of mystery
Has now come to its end
How will we field the loss
Of our hero and our friend
Life is very fragile
It comes with its ups and downs
Enjoy each moment you are given
Even when it makes you frown
So many he has mentored
So much that he did gain
So many that he did help
With his fortune and his fame
Now we say good bye
We now shall bid adieu
The world will miss you Kobe Bryant
And your beautiful daughter to

Big money dave
Yeah they call me the native
But boys listen up
Cuz I'm about to get creative.
Yeah I know yall are thirsty
And prolly want some more
But Ima vanish real quick like Tupac Shakur.
I'm not gunna hang around
I'm not gunna linger
Just like Mello in Denver.
Yeah he tried to chase rings
Like that pussy you call a king
Yeah he's gotta heart, but it can be sold. Not like my boy who bleeds purple and gold.
Yeah lebron has 2 but that don't make him a giant.
He will never have as many as my boy kobe Bryant.
