Cheaper Cheeper
There’s magic that is happening at Cheaper Cheeper store,
A part of all the work we’ve done, and yet it’s something more;
I noticed it just yesterday, though it was there before,
A synergy of helpfulness when we walk through the door.Of course it’s all about the copy jobs which people want,
But something else is happening as crew adjusts a font,
Or scans some picture for some folks, or faxes off a form –
One writer helps another – as emerging corporate norm.I’ve seen this somewhere else before in bits and pieces there,
Community emerging in a context built on care;
But this has hope with broader base within economy,
For object of the work we’ve done was jobs for you and me.“Prosperity with righteousness” can that be done today?
That was the quest back at the first – three years we ground our way;
Around that questing question grew a wandering group of folks,
“Could there be hope for me? They asked, “ Or is this just a joke?”Five years ago he said to me, “I’ll hire you to do that”,
And to another mom he said, “Put on a different hat”;
And as we rose out of the ash, with feathers singed by smoke
He let it go to do his work, and life from seeds awoke.“Do unto others as you’d wish they do to you”, Christ said;
With that approach He lived His life, helped out as He was led;
Some folks can’t see when things are small – I can – here’s what I see –
A magic life down at the shop as Spirit is set free.I do not know how things will fare, but this I know for sure –
There’s faith, and hope, and love seen there, a base for life secure:
When surface life is not quite right these three restore the last,
’Till things improve and others see that life can be a blast!navigation
