The Park That Was Never the Same

This park brought so much joy to me. I could remember the days as if it was just yesterday, but in reality it's been years. Years that it hasn't been the same, because so much has changed. For example the park itself was remodeled and then they took away the best part, which was the soccer nets. The one memory that I have of it was the time I went to go play on a nice summer day right after school had ended. I had just bought my brand new bright blue soccer ball. Ofcourse I would think it would be cool to go and show it off. And so happens that my friends were there too. As if it was as faith knew I would go at the same time they would be too. It was nice and sunny out, with a little breeze.  We proceeded to what we usually do then and choose teams, which sometimes were very unfair but this day they were pretty even so it was going to be a good game. We used by brand new ball as the game ball, so there it goes getting kicked around. Sometimes people get hit with the ball or there are some very tough tackles that hurt a lot. There is always that good feeling of scoring that last goal that decides who wins. Everything is going well until towards the end though. We always say last goal once it gets too dark outside, and things sometimes get out of hand. My friend who has no accuracy decides to take the shot towards goal and flies the ball over and goes into some bushes. Adrian says “No worries i'll go get it”. He comes with an unhappy face. I wondered what it could of been. He goes “It accidently popped”. That ruined my day because it didn't even last me one day. I learned a valuable lesson that sometimes bad things happen and can't really do anything to prevent them. So now whenever I drive past the park I always have that memory.
