136. When I do

When I do
One thing at a time,
    I am successful.

    When I do
Two things at a time,
    I am doubtful.

    When I do
Three things at a time,
    I am fearful.

    When I do
Four things at a time,
    God smiles at me.

    When I do
Five things at a time,
    God cries with me.

    When I do
Six things at a time,
    God dies with me.

    When I do
Seven things at a time,
    God does them all for me.
