MY STAFF
A simple staff to lean on
is all I need.
A simple staff to lean on
and help me on my way.
The strength of self-belief
is mine.
The strength of self-belief
the staff on which I lean.

May that self belief always be with you Michael. I am sure that it will.
I hope so Andy, I hope so.
I am a great believer in relying only on oneself......
nice words and a great painting Michael..
It's the next village along from mine - thanks Neville.
nice...
A nice write and pic Michael. I dunno - I thought of the song 'My faith it is an oaken staff' first sung at Primary School - millions of years ago then! I understand the need for self-belief, but I wouldn't want to rely entirely on me.
Meanwhile - Is Miss Berles on your staff work-team?
You could sing your way through anything Orchi - no she's a Retira Berles.
Does Retira pop back to your work-place to say hello now and again?!
Michael,
I love this poem and painting!
‘The strength of self-belief’
has pulled me out of many perilous situations!
~Laura~
P.S.- If this painting is not available, I’d like to commission you to paint one just like it for me! Thank you!
I think I do still have it. When it was painted it was exhibited locally and I was surprised it didn't sell at the time but it may have gone since then - will check later today.
Okay!😊
Just checked and I'm afraid it was sold from the studio. I'll paint another version in the next couple of weeks and send an image to you - don't worry if you decide against it - no obligation.

"Lean on me", says the staff, and if you can hear that then you are truly listening to your inner voice.
The essential staff for life yes. Great thought expressed, great composition.
Put it upon a plaque and sell it by the thousand.
