I helped design this necklace, the Starfish poem means much to me. I like to think think everyone can make a difference in the life of an orphan, by some means. It doesn't mean everyone has to adopt a child. Befriend a child in foster care, sponsor a child, be a guardian ad litem, support people adopting through prayer, etc. The list is long.

The Starfish Poem
As I walked along the seashore this young boy greeted me.
He was tossing a stranded starfish back into the deep blue sea.
I said, "Tell me why you bother. Why waste your time this way?
There's a million stranded starfish. Does it matter anyway?"
And he said, "It matters to this one. It deserves a chance to grow.
It matters to this one. I can't save them all, I know.
But it matters to this one, I'll return it to the sea.
It matters to this one, And it matters a lot to me."
-Poem adapted from the story "The Star Thrower" (or "starfish story") by Loren Eiseley (1907–1977), published in 1969 in The Unexpected Universe.
