Starfish...

Not my work...found it in a library book...it was just beautiful...so...its here and a part of me...


I found a tiny Starfish,
In the tidepool by the sand,
I found a tiny Starfish,
And put him in my hand...

An itty-bitty Starfish,
No bigger than my thumb,
A wet and Golden Starfish,
Belonging to no one...
But as i held my Starfish,
His skin began to dry
Without his special seaside home,
My gift to u would die...

I found a tiny Starfish
In a tidepool by the sea
I hope whoever finds him next
Would leave it there like me...!!!

And the gift I've saved for u,
The best that I can give:
I found a tiny Starfish...
And for u...I let it live...
