No head on which a hat to place,
You always look me in the face.

In different ways, it’s proudly shown,
though many like it to have been sewn.

but when it’s torn, it should be burned.

Word With All 26 Letters
What word contains all 26 letters?
Alphabet (unfortunately there aren’t any actual dictionary words with every letter in the alphabet, so this gimmicky, somewhat unsatisfying answer has to suffice).
Every Dawn Begins With Me
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I’ll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn’t come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I’m told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won’t be found
Yet still, each day I’ll be around
The letter “d”.
