Memory I Have But I Have No Mind
Mouth-less but I will tell you a name that is not mine,
I will show you the years I have seen but I have no eyes,
Memory I have but I have no mind.
What am I?
A gravestone. The stone bears the name of the deceased and the memories and recollections of their life are represented by the grave site.

If I Didn’t Exist, You Wouldn’t Either
I’m a six-letter word. If I did not exist, you wouldn’t either. With my first letter omitted I’m an alternative. The last three letters are feminine. The first four letters make an insect.
Who am I?
Mother
other = an alternative
her = feminine
moth = an insect
