Totally Miss that Field.

"Don't it all seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone.  They paved paradise & put up a parking lot."

Used to be a field outside our neighborhood years ago where now the road was built.  I remember as kids we'd take whole afternoon adventures there.  Kids would catch dragonflies and pick flowers along the way.  Sometimes we'd have picnics and lay flat out on the grass staring at lazy clouds passing on clear sunny blue sky days.

In the middle there was an ancient tree used to scare us.  It looked so old - I used to think it was the home of fairies.  It isn't there anymore, before the road was built lightning struck and burnt it down during a thunderstorm.  The workmen cleared it out and paved the road.

A bank now stands where it used to be. 

Now when I see the cars on that road, I totally miss the quiet magic of the field.
