As I walked along the
seashore
this young boy
greeted me.
He was tossing
stranded starfish
back to the deep
blue sea.
I said, "Tell
me why you bother,
Why you waste your
time this way.
There's a million
stranded starfish
Does it matter,
anyway?"
And he said,
"It matters to this one.
It deserves a chance
to grow.
It matters to this
one.
I can't save them
all I know.
But it matters to
this one,
I'll return it to
the sea.
It matters to this
one,
And it matters to me."
