A Message for Roy

Peter Goulding

Friday, April 30th, 2004

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 For years I’ve been told that it’s right to forgive,
Especially with someone like Roy.
Critics advise me to live and let live,
Keane is a much-reformed boy.
Of course, they are right, I should show some more grace,
Forgiveness is well overdue.
For far too long now, I have railed at his face,
Knowing his deeds like I do.
Except, now, I think that I’m coming around,
And not being such a Keane-hater.
No more shall vile curses and swearwords abound
On seeing the wee Mayfield traitor.
