Dear Cannabis

You have loved me, and I love you too

So, I’d like to say- thank you!

Thank you for listening

For sparkling and glistening

For numbing the bulk of my emotions

And soothing all of my fears-

For all of your inspiration

Cooking meals through the years

For your help building friendships

And real, lasting bonds

For the encouragement you give me

To write silly poems

For my husband, who loves you

The way that I do

For opening my mind

And helping to find

Both beauty and grace

In everyday places

For every wake and bake,

And flavorful dabs

For all of that-

And for myself, too

Dear Cannabis,

Thank you!
