Yellow

It's early sunday morning
and the sun has started it's shine
I look outside to notice
the neighbors drinking a holiday wine
there sits their son, to young to join
having sweat stream down his face 
 shining like brand new coins 
already experiencing a taste, he stared
unable to tell the stress he bared
He's had his first drink and now he's scared.

Drinking doesn't cure the stress nor make it go away only makes things worse..Possibly creating a person who will become an alcoholic..Enjoyed reading this very descriptive and expressive work this morn..Sara
