How can one explain
Why the mountain is so high
Ocean so deep
From where the wind came
And to where it is going
How do you measure
Greatness of a man certainly
Not by what he has achieved
Not by his lack of failures
Nor by his wealth
But by the genuine sadness
Of his passing even
To those who have never known him
Or ever played the game of basketball
Heart stricken by grief
Kobe
Who never could or tried
To hide the fact that
Despite all his achievements
He is
Human after all
Will truly be missed by many
None more than family and friends
Remembered by generations to come
As a man who was not only a champion
But someone who genuinely
Tried his best to be good
And was good
Genuine and humble
Human being
Kobe Bryant
And his precious daughter
And all others on board
Gone too soon
Too unexpectedly
May God be with him
And his family
And all the passengers
And their families
On this sad day
Let tears fall
