My Friend

by Barbara M. Hales

I have a special friend named Sue;

She likes to do the things I do.

We share a lot of secret talk,

But sometimes we just think and walk.

And though our looks are not the same

And though my name is not her name,

It seems my thoughts are her thoughts too.

That’s how it is with friends like Sue!

I think that when the world was planned

And little girls were in demand,

Heavenly Father somehow knew

I’d need a friend; so He sent Sue.
