47. When I play

```

When I play with God

Nobody loses,

For God’s Heart

And my surrender

Are equally formidable.

When I play with man

I always lose,

For my lack of attention

And man’s abundance of temptation

Are equally harmful.

When I play with Heaven

We do not compete,

But complete the Game.

When I play with earth

Neither of us wins,

For we know not how to play the Game.
