Title: A poem from my Mum
Post by Shaz on Jan 22^nd, 2007, 6:35am

Just wanted to share my mums poem with you. It brought tears to my eyes.

A man in a far off country
Would visit the beach each day
He would pick up the stranded star fish
From the sand where, gasping, they lay
And throw them back in the ocean
To live another day.

As I watched, I scorned and mocked him -
'Come on man - give it a break...
With all those thousands of starfish
What difference can one man make.
There'll be lots more there by morning.....
Forget it, for goodness sake!'

Stooping, he picked up another
Tossed it far out to sea.
He smiled and shook his wise old head
Then turned and said to me....
'It made a difference to that one -
Of that you must agree!'

So each little smile or gesture,
Though it may not seem all that great
Can mean a lot to someone...
There's really no reason to wait
We can all make a difference to someone
Tomorrow it may be too late.

Shaz :-* :-*

Would love that Helen.

Just let me know when you are properly fit and well again and I shall get up to London.

So glad you are on the road to recovery.
