Never Been More Beautiful

Never Been More Beautiful Words and Music ©2020 Christopher Pendergraft For my wife of 21 years, Kimberly, same last name. She is a true kind-hearted inspiration to me, who has been there for me like I could not even imagine. When we started, we were juts dreams and will, and to see that get shaped into a family is more than this guitar player could have ever dreamed of. Now having a family is not an easy task, the luckiest people still deal with stress, as the Buddha said, life is suffering, but as a young man, I saw no way forward as both an artist and a family man, and thank God I was wrong about my own capabilities. Last night my son told me he wanted to minor in art, he is already teaching himself music now, and that is how it goes, we pass our dreams down like we do our virtues and failings and that is life. So the other day, while working on our front garden next to my studio, I was sure that Kim was more beautiful than the first moment I saw her, because now there is so much more, so much trust and a willingness to take chances, explore options and see the next stage of our lives and our love open up. Same team, same bad, dark sense on humor, same friendship. We are both shit out on work, because of covid 19 and I dont think we have ever spent more time with each other; and its really good. So take a chance on love if it presents it self, It works out if you bet the right horse, it pays out triple. Tripple!!
