Born To Run...

Bred to be fast
right out of the gate,
commanding the field
never fearing the stake.

Majestic by nature
a true pedigree,
taking home titles
would be her legacy.

The bloodline she bore
was all they could see,
the ribbons she wore
her sign of victory.

Rounding the bend
hugging the rails,
writing a story
made of fairytales.

Slender and sleek
a shine to her tack,
watching her run
breaking from the pack.

Chewing the bit
drudging through mud,
never taking second --
it was in her blood.

Beating the best
time after time,
winning by lengths
a filly in her prime.

Waving her mane
shaking her tail,
posing for the crowd
just like any female.

Finely tuned muscles
gliding through air,
heading for the stretch
daring to dare.

Gracing the winners circle
just like her descendants,
a legend in the making
it was her essence.

Heading for the finish line
at the sound of a gun,
never breaking stride
she was..,
born to run.
