A Wrongfully Incarcerated Brother

I grew up with my little sister, Betty Anne Waters Until conviction took me away in 1980, for a murder in our town. Which, I would never do! Betty wouldn't let me stay, and wouldn't believe. She got her ged and many years of college. Passing the bar! Bringing out evidence from 16 years. Losing her husband and children. Losing everything for, Kenny. Her only brother, my only sister. She won to set me free in 2001. Betty showed the world, I was a wrongfully incarcerated brother. The sad part is I died, six months later, enjoying whatever little life I had left. So I leave this poem to show, my Betty, I appreciate everything, and give you my last thoughts. With a kiss. Love Kenny! A wrongfully incarcerated brother.
