Answer:
Before I grow I'm small. When I'm old I grow tall. When I die I give a mighty fall.
When I get closer my tail grows longer but when I go away my tail leads the way.
I am the black child of a white father a wingless bird flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me even though there is no cause for grief and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
I belong to everyone. Sometimes make you happy sometimes make you sad. I will never end until the day you do.
I have a head and a tail but my eyes can never see my tail.
No matter how little or how much you use me, you change me every month.
