Patience.
Penelope has great patience.
That much is easy to see.
For many years she waited,
To find what her fate would be.
Would she marry a vile suitor?
Or would her husband return from the sea?
Some think he died in war,
And she just waits uselessly.
Other truly believe he is alive,
Trying to get home, to rule his kingdom skillfully.
Her son goes off the find if her love is dead or alive,
While Penelope waits patiently.
Always waiting, always patient.
Penelope would truly be
A great wife and a great mother,
If any were home to see.
