Goodbye Kobe
You gave us everything you had
everyday, every game, all the time
on the court and off the court
gave us the best you had
to your fans, to your team
to your family...to everyone
your smile, your hustle
your virtue, your sincerity
unselfishness, honor and charity
it was all good
it was all great
it was all one of a kind
Goodbye Kobe.
We all love you. Live Life Now 365
