The Game | five songs by Frank A. Wallace

Five songs which comprise The Game [of life] was composed in the fall of 2007 out of desperation – desperation to create after several months of hellish administrative work and after a year of completing arrangements and recording of my Christmas project, A Season of Light. I needed to reconnect with my creative muse and these poems seemed the perfect path to that goal. They had been written at various times, but all speak of the joys and sorrows of raising a family in the country and my own struggles with finding a sense of place, having been born in Texas, raised in California and then settling in New England.

I. Manhattan
II. Furrowed Brow
III. Deep
IV. Tell us True Love
