I saw this lone starfish
on the beach
among countless shells
yesterday morning.
I bent down
and as my fingers felt
its cold wetness
I realized
it was still alive.
I timed my gentle toss
so that my sneakers
would not be soaked
and my feet frozen.
The starfish slipped
into the surf
and was gone.
Still alive!
God, help me to see
what is before me
and to do
what needs to be done.
Thank you, God, for:
*shells and starfish
*our amazing printer
*being with Daddy
