I Can Be Long or Short
I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?
A fingernail.
Binds Two But Touches One
What binds two people yet touches only one?
A wedding ring.
Take It And You Will Lose
Take it and you will lose or gain more than all others.
Risk.

I Appear In The Morning But Am Always There
I appear in the morning but am always there.
You can never see me though I am everywhere.
By night I am gone, though I sometimes never was.
Nothing can defeat me but I am easily gone.
What am I?
Sunlight.
The Dead Bring Forth the Living
I saw the dead bring forth the living. I saw the living bring forth the dead. Who or what did I see?
A funeral. Someone’s death caused the living to come to the funeral, and during the funeral the living carry the casket of the deceased.
I Turn Around Once
I turn around once,
What is out will not get in.
I turn around again.
What is in will not get out.
What am I?
A key.
