Ride for Her ~ BUCCi

Somewhere between the rider you’ve become, the hours of practice you’ve put in and the coaches that have pushed you is the little girl who fell in love with the sport and never looked back. Ride for her.

The gate sprung open at the start
All they want is an honest race
Now the truth is, what I must face
I’ll ride the rail, pour out my heart
True ’till finish line is crossed
Honestly, I have never lost
The greatest care you must impart
Be true to me and let me run
Give me free rein, until I’m done
So honesty comes from the heart
Just let me free, so I can race
Honest and true, I keep my pace
Arrow straight; feather of the dart
Your honesty, is all I knew
Be true to me, I’ll run for you

Constanza style
The Constanza, created by Connie Marcum Wong, consists of five or more 3-line stanzas. Each line has a set meter of eight syllables. The first lines of all the stanzas can be read successively as an independent poem, with the rest of the poem weaved in to express a deeper meaning. The first lines convey a theme written in monorhyme, while the second and third lines of each stanza rhyme together.
Rhyme scheme: a/b/b, a/c/c, a/d/d, a/e/e, a/f/f………etc
