Still a Brownie
STILL A BROWNIE
I have always been, since childhood, a brownie
in a girl scout uniform, on my honor. With Kumbaya
and closing Taps, friendships with my sisterhood,
earning pins and badges with integrity. Instructed
by the handbook and stories of the worker brownies,
who toil by night and are never seen by day,
thus answers the why and when -
never let your left hand see your right hand sweat.
adult-size brownie —
don’t let them see what you do
goodness in each right

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret
Matthew 6:3-4a (NIV Version)
Two songs we would sing:
Kumbaya by Songwriters: John Phillips / Richard Weissman / Scott Mckenzie
Day Is Done (Taps) by: Horace Lorenzo Trim (according to Wikipedia)
