I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. 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.

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

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

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

You can win me and lose me but never buy me
You can not eat me and never want to part with me
I can make you cry or bring you joy
I am not a machine and definitely not a toy
You keep me but i am not forever just yours
You might find me in a case or on a shelf next to a vase
I am hard and i am tall if you bump me i am sure to fall
I am made of different materials and am at many events
If your lucky and fight hard I might be yours
What am I ?

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

What is full of holes but still holds water?

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

I am sometimes honest
Sometimes dishonest
I can be sweet and also bitter
I can hurt you real bad and
also make u smile and blush ☺️
What am I?
