i don't think i've ever written a poem this long
if you can guess who it's to i'll give you a hug
__
You're a kid with a heart of sun,
That warms and glows and burns with life.
You're a precious, beloved son,
You're a brother, a daultless knight.
In your one hand you hold a gun,
Fierce defender, you never miss.
You hold life in the other one,
You hold goodness, the point of this.
You're a soldier that never runs,
Never lag, never say, "Enough",
Take their punches and give 'em some,
Be the shelter when times are tough.
Who you are, who you have become,
You know where your allegiance lies;
What you'll give, more than anyone,
Who you'll live for, for whom you'll die.
Human beings you love a ton,
Hearts and hands, faces, minds and souls.
Just want to help them have some fun,
Oh, you live just to see their smiles.
There's a brother in whom you trust,
Whom you know better than yourself,
Give your life for him if you must,
Follow him through the jaws of death.
Take the heat for him when he falls,
Cheer him on, only lift him up.
Stand beside him and risk it all,
Be his sheild, lifeline and backup.
If they take you you'll never cave,
If they break you you'll never change.
They can't shake you, forever brave.
You're consistent, you'll stay the same.
Tell your brother you'll lose your mind,
Suffer, strive, flee, or stay confined;
Time or distance can't break your tie;
With you till the end of the line.
With you till the end of the line.

there's a tune to this
!
if you beg me, maybe i'll release it as a song by next memorial day
You see, this poem is 100% who Bucky is before he fell. It's really sad how he's almost become the opposite person now. Yet I think part of that is cause he genuinely doesn't remember anything, not even his own name, he doesn't let himself think or feel or make any choices, he only follows orders. But at the end of the Winter Soldier you finally see him do all those things; remember, think,feel, and ditch his orders/masters. And although he's just a hollow shell now, you start to see the old Bucky still alive somewhere deep within the Winter Soldier's frozen soul.
