A Meadow

There once was a dessert
That now we call The Meadows

There once was a temple
Now we have a City Center

There once was a Sahara entrance
Now there's a Saint Rose

There once was an Ann Road exit
Now there's a Pauite Way

There once was a drive to Henderson
Now there's Green Valley next door

There once was a long drive to Mount Charleston
Now you see it over your neighbors' house

There once was a beginning
Now there's no end

There once was a Desert Springs
Now we live in Las Vegas
