FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

Many people count on me,

Though I'm not your fingers or toes;

I'm the comfort in your heart

When your mind's not sure it knows.

Some say I'm blind, but I do have an eye,

Though it's not the kind that sees;

Challenged, lost, and restored,

I'm found when on your knees.

2)

A dagger thrust into my heart,

Dictates the way I'm swayed;

Left I stand, right I yield,

To the turning of the blade.

3)

Two sisters are we, one dark and one fair,

In twin towers dwelling, we're quite the pair;

One from the land, and one from the sea,

Tell us truly, who may we be.

4)

Ten men's strength,

Ten men's length;

One man can pick me up,

But no man can stand me up.
