The photo is of Annie (Andrea Cummins, 11) and Doogie (Christian Douglas 'Doogie' Turner) now age 9. They've been 'best friends' for five years :)!
***************************

My friend, Annie, is not like other girls I know.
She has no arms and short legs--
must have a wheelchair to go--
but she’s beautiful!
When we’re outside, she cheers me on as I swing.
She has a sweet voice.
I say, “Sing, Annie, sing.”
She sounds beautiful!
It’s her dream, and we pray, that someday she will walk.
Hopeful, we believe that
her dreams are more than talk;
we’ll run . . . beautiful.
Until that can be,
she can lean on me.
