Response to I believe the title is "starfish". The theme of which is someone throwing starfish back into the ocean and being questioned about it being futile with the other replying "we'll it matters to this one"; just as he throuws it back into the ocean

this is an old story, turned into a poem by ... someone ! author unknown . 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.'
