While walking on the beach one day, I saw a Starfish by the score.

And everywhere I looked it seemed, I saw a thousand more.

Then what to my surprise appeared? A boy of nine or ten.

And as the Starfish washed ashore, he threw them back again.

"One fish won't make a difference son; You can't change this situation."

He stooped and picked up one more fish, then looking right at me,

"I can make a difference for this one, sir" and returned it to the sea.

So I went and gathered all my friends, my brothers and my cousins.

We joined in with that little boy and save Starfish by the dozens."

There're still many to be rescued - many "Starfish" on life's shore.

And you can make a difference too...by saving just one more."
