As I walked along the seashore(posted 8852 days ago)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.'
