By Theodore R. Goyins, III
Looking into the frame of the picture
I see a child with the biggest smile and look of happiness
I ask myself
What is this young child thinking at that moment in time?
The smile says that life is enjoyable and this photo-op is a happy time for them
We fail to realize the emotion not captured
So in fact this picture hides a large percentage of the truth
Smiles are often mistaken for that of happiness
But it only acts as make-up, covering the scars and dysfunctions that scorn the life of this child
