A heavy hearted man walked along the beach
his mind bound up in sorrows for things he couldn't reach,
and as he walked he saw a man
pick up something that lay on the sand
and throw it into the water...
"Man, what are you doing " he said
"I'm saving the starfish from dying."
The man looked down the beach for miles
where he knew thousands more were lying.
He said, "You must be crazy.
Your effort's a waste,a big mistake.
So many starfish are dying out here
what difference can you make?"
The man looked at him and smiled
picked up a starfish and threw.
the man saw it arc and splash
as into the rolling waves it flew
the man then said with sparkling eyes
"I made a difference to that one, didn't I?"
