i saw a starfish
on the beach
the other day
it asked me
if i could set it back
into the water
i did as it asked
the tide came
washed him back
to the sand
he asked again
i tried one more time
only to see the tide
bring him back out
to the sand
he looked sad
ready to give up
i got a pot
filled it with sea water
took him home instead
he didn’t need
to give up
just to find another solution
to his misery
now we sit
watch the tide
through the glass
of his aquarium
content at being home
