National Girlfriend Day
A lot of made-up holidays
Deserve, perhaps, a shrug.
Today, though, in pandemic times,
We all could use a hug.
So to thank my special girlfriends,
Here’s a distanced-hug in rhyme.
Relationships may vary but
I hope you know that I’m…
More grateful for your friendship
Than my actions sometimes show.
My appreciation’s deeper
Than you’ll ever really know.
On this day to honor girlfriends,
Though we’re miles and months apart,
Each of you has staked a claim within
The confines of my heart.
