“The Sand and the Foam” is from Dan Fogelberg’s great 1981 album, The Innocent Age. This beautiful little piece talks about the fleeting nature of childhood innocence and wonder, things we adults could sure use more of. Dan was a great guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter and we lost him much too young. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do.
I AM FOREVER walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot-prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the shore will remain
Forever.
Kahlil Gibran
