In the summertime when the work was done
we'd take our ease and have our fun
we'd been always looking forward
to the warm dry days of sun
In the summertime we would run and sing
enjoy all that the days could bring
we would laugh and wintertime
would seem a very distant thing
but it couldn't last
and the autumn came too quickly
with its wind and rain

The inspiration for this score comes from the first time I was able to hear my son's heartbeat during an ultrasound. It was a magical and exciting moment that I will never forget; however, leading up to that specific moment there was an element of tension. Six months prior to hearing my son's heartbeat, my wife and I found ourselves in a very different situation with the outcome of an ultrasound.
