If you throw me out the window,
I'll leave a grieving wife.
Bring me back, but through the door,
You'll see someone giving life.
What am I??ANSWER
I have a name, but it isn't my name.
My face shows signs of age.
I always mean the same thing, no matter what I say.
I'm born in mourning, and I last 'til the end of days.
Men plant me, but I never grow.
They run from me, but I never move.
They look at me and see their future, rotting in the fields where I bloom.
What am I?ANSWER
Two sisters are we, one is dark and one is fair
In twin towers dwelling we're quite the pair
One from land and one from sea
Tell us truly, who are we?ANSWER
What you're looking for ... I'll hide it from you.
However if you ask, I'll lead you right through.

If chosen too soon, may come with regret.
If I'm not there you're mad, you ask for me to be.
This time for a change, I'll be right behind me.ANSWER
