Happy Birthday to a Special Man There is a man who means so much To my family and me. He is always there if we should call Soon his smiling face we see. He was there to help us say goodbye To our precious Cathy Lou. He was there when the angels came for dad And, mom and my brother, too. This special man is like a brother To all of my family. So, to honor him on his birthday These words of praise you see. Have a Happy Birthday, brother . May your fondest wish come true. We send these Birthday Greetings For we think the world of you.

This poem was written for a very special man to my family.  He is more like a brother and member of our family than our former minister.  I am very proud to call Gerald O. Moreland my brother and one of my very dearest friends.  He and his wife Ruth and their family mean so very much to all of us.
