I am a born Champion <br />I yearn to run the race <br />At the starting line <br />I stamp my hooves <br />Preparing to run to the end <br /> <br />The signal at last is given <br />I now release all my energy <br />Launching myself ahead <br />Stretching each leg <br />Flexing each muscle as I run <br /> <br />I am striving to beat the pack <br />Thundering hooves all around <br />A mass of bodies <br />Running down the track <br />To reach the further end <br /> <br />I am running the grand race <br />Muscle and sinew straining <br />Trying to reach the front <br />Of the charging pack <br />All streaming along the fence <br /> <br />I reach the coveted leader spot <br />Out in front of all the rest <br />Flashing under the wire <br />I am a born champion <br />I have won the grand race<br /><br />Horse Poet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-champion/
