Who? What? Where? When? Why?

WHO   chose the colors of the rainbow?
WHAT  makes a candle glow?
WHERE does the sky reach its end?
WHEN  will mankind on Jesus depend?
WHY    do we hate instead of befriend?

WHO    can change a life?
WHAT  causes war and strife?
WHERE is truth and peace?
WHEN  will hatred cease?
WHY    does violence increase?

WHO    orders the clouds to send rain?
WHAT  is the essence of a flame?
WHERE can we run and hide?
WHEN  will we learn only love survives?
WHY    tarry? Soon He'll arrive!
