My Friend

My friend, she’s great.
I’m ten, she’s eight.
We play together all day long,
and my friend is also very strong.
So my friend is really shy.
The two of us count stars in the night sky.
She loves it when we meet.
We go to cafes, but she doesn’t eat.
In Winter, she can’t wear socks.
Did I mention, she’s a rock?
