As a whole I am both
safe and secure.

Behead me and I become
a place of meeting.

Behead me again and I am
the partner of ready.

Restore me, and I become
the domain of beasts.

What am I?

When it is alive we sing, when it is dead we clap our hands. What is it?

There's a day, that comes around once a year.
To celebrate the man, you hold dear.
He gave you life, love and will pick you up if you fall.
When it comes to guys like him, He's the best of all.
Who is he?

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red. What am I?

Until it is measured, not known. Yet how you miss it when it has gone. What is it?

A father's child, a mother's child, yet no one's son.

Who am I?

I am first found in caves, now prolific online; I am a depiction, a drawing, a symbol, or sign. I will convey whichever mood you could wish; or for that matter, a fist, flask, or fish. What am I?

Who has married many women but was never married?

A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first. What am I?

I welcome the day with a show of light, I stealthily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by noon, alas! I'm gone.
