Some things don't need to be said.

He's a quiet and easy going sort, friendly and polite. Always smiling, gentle, kind, in his eyes there is a light. He's always there to lend a hand with anything that's needed. He'll carry your bags, find your dog, or see your field gets seeded. He's the county game warden, most call him The Ranger. He's there to help us one and all and keep us out of danger. There's a quiet strength within his eyes, his strength is second to none. He's the only ranger on the force that's never carried a gun. No one wants to question him, they just look in his eyes. He smiles and they just walk away, they never even try. This is his town, these are his woods, he loves and calls this home, And trouble never stalks the streets where The Ranger often roams.

I love this poem and I think rangers are typically the same world wide - they love the bush, the animals, nature, and the freedom of of the wild. In South Africa our game rangers multiplied during the pandemic - more had to be employed to keep poachers at bay, no visitors meant many poachers anywhere anytime in our national parks. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
