What has to be broken before you can use it?

Do You See It?

Lifeless eyes on my smiling face and watch your child's sleeping place. In their dreams they hold me tight. What am I?

When my father was 31 I was 8. Now he is twice as old as me. How old am I?

I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost every person. What am I?

I have a hole in my back and legs I lack.
I live where I can’t breathe and I eat without teeth.
What am I?

I am dry when I go inside, but wet when I am pulled outside.
The longer I am inside, the stronger I get
When I am completely out, I am wet and I literally sag
Who am I?

I have no life, but I can die. What am I?

Fate has decided that you will only be pleased to meet me when you need me

Maybe that is why, when I am working, I start working

However annoying I may be to the regulars, the little ones are always inspired

I will always be waiting if you try to reach me

How many of you can guess my name, let me see

I have an eye but still cannot see.

Who am I?
