Dark n Beautiful May 2020
"I have a name and it’s Jaylen Foster
I am two weeks old.
But the size of my big feet
Will foretell my future:
big things to come

I am the third generation of Fosters
What the world need now is love sweet love
It is the new normal, the beginning of a bad ending
Social distancing, mask trending, and facetime,

My new world..  Six feet apart, no options
Only restriction: for them or for me??
The truth for our futuristic endeavors is to
Wear a mask, or stay at home..

I saw the smile, on her face, her laughter is contagious  
The joy of being a grandmother, pretty Joy for Paula
Proud moments for my father and mother..
a new beginning for a grandfather: David

Love and happiness for a two weeks old me
And distance kisses for cousin: Annie
Annie said the meaning of my name is Joy

My grandmother's voice says nothing can surprise her.
My grandmothers’ voice, says wisdom,
My grandmother’s laughter is genuine,
When it comes to me.. Jaylen Foster
Keep the pictures coming?
Meant keeping Joy alive
Every night he watches me  tells me that , " Bridget, You're Too Pretty To Cry."
He touches my shoulder , kisses my forehead and says, " Those Who Cries The Most, Are The Strongest."
I smile because of the fact, I've never heard such words
Such sweet melodies to my eyes
I tell him, " Why do you always come see me, I'm nothing?"
He looks at me like I'm deaf and just smiles and says, " Please, my dear child. I wouldn't fly this many minutes from the heavens to watch over you. Remember when I was alive we'd lay upon this same bed and hold each other and I'd say-"
"Whatever a diamond is that's what I must be, worth more than all plastic."
And from that moment I knew exactly who he was
My boyfriend Jaylen.
My at night visitor.
