Countenance of Honor

In honor of Kobe Bryant, may he rest in peace.

Why do the best of us fall before their time
The tragic passing of those who uplift us
Bears the burden of justifying this to our children
Why are the good taken before their time
Those who stand for right and goodness and hope
So sad that they become symbols of injustice
Although we commit them to memory
The honest, the forward-thinking, the inspirational
How we bleed for the best that humanity has to offer
When they are taken for no good reason
Yet, we shall remember the good deeds
We shall remember the countenance of honor
