You measure my life in hours
I serve you by expiring
I vanish faster when I am thin
and slower when I am thick
The wind is my energy
What am I?

I was born in a small house and I live in it all alone. No windows and no doors have been assigned to my house. The only way I can go out is by breaking through the walls of my house.

Who am I?

I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

I am 5 letters long.
My first two tell you who I am
My first 3 could be a medicine
My last three reversed could be a young boy.
My 4th, 3rd and 2nd in that order could be a fruit drink.
If you have me you may hang me round your neck
WHAT AM I ?

Your mother’s brother’s only brother-in-law is asleep on your couch. Who is asleep on your couch?

When you say goodbye, I am what you need to tie.
I come as a couple and go wherever you run.
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?

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?

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

Spelt forwards I’m what you do every day, spelled backwards I’m something you hate. What am I?
