💜 💛🖤
In memory's court, a legend stands,
A basketball maestro with gifted hands.
Kobe Bryant, you would've turned forty-five,
A milestone age to keep your legacy alive.
Five championships gleaming in your crown,
In the game of basketball, an icon to clasp.
The Mamba Mentality, fierce and true,
A testament to the work you'd do.
But life's unpredictable path was cast,
Leaving us wondering about the moments amassed.
A chapter unfinished, a journey untold,
Yet your spirit lives on, forever bold.
On this day, your could-have-been forty-fifth,
We remember your grace, your undying myth.
A basketball poet, forever in flight,
Dear Kobe, you shine on in the eternal night.
So here's to you, Bean, forever missed,
Your legacy lives on, in every single swish.
Happy Birthday among the stars' soft gleam,
Forever you're etched in the hoops' grand dream.
