This Is A Photograph Of Me

It was taken a very long time ago
At first it seems to be a collage of colours in a photograph:
carefully handled and in pristine condition;
then, as you contemplate it you see that it embodies the joy and bliss of growing up.
In the background there is a drawing of the world and several Canadian flags.
(The photograph was taken the day I graduated from pre-school.
I am on the end waiting anxiously for my hand to shaken and to receive my certificate. Watching as one by one each child before me is congratulated, grinning with a big smile as wide as the sky...just waiting for it to be my turn.
