The Starfishsecret

Walking on the beach, pre dawn, we hadn't travelled very far When my daughter pointed to the sky and said, "Look! a shooting star! " A little further down the beach... as if miraculously planned... Glowing in the waning moonlight... a starfish in the sand. "Could this be the same star we saw shoot across the night? " I smiled at her innocence and said, "I bet you're right." I shall never forget her smile on the beach that early morn when she discovered the secret... of how starfishes are born.
