Answer:
When I live I cry if you don't kill me I'll die.
I come off of a beautiful creature which soars in the sky. I come off of a peckish creature which has a tail as mighty as the sun! I am sometimes dirty and parents beg you not to pick me up.
Light me up in backyard gatherings
I welcome the day with a show of light. I steathily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn but by noon, I'm gone. What am I?
I am the same written forward backward and upside down.
I run through hills. I veer around mountains. I leap over rivers. And crawl through the forests. Step out your door to find me.
