i found a little starfish
in the tidepool by the sand
i thought that i could take him
and bring him home to give to you
but as i held the starfish
his skin began to dry
without his special seaside home
my gift to you would die
i found a tiny starfish
in the tidepool by the sea
and i hope whoever finds him next
will leave him there, like me!
and the gift ive saved for you?
the best gift i can give
i found a tiny starfish
and for YOU i let him live
