Potholder

Hanging around
between jobs, on the hook.
Enjoying moments,
often fleeting, to sneak a look.

Overall, grateful
for this home and life.
Dare I dream
you’ll be my wife?

I can only hope
you feel the same.
I’ll be patient
until you take my name.

As long as it takes,
I’ll never quit.
A shy potholder 
in love with an oven mitt.
