Answer:
I am the same written forward backward and upside down.
Before I grow I'm small. When I'm old I grow tall. When I die I give a mighty fall.
I have a name written on me, but it isnβt my name. Men plant me, but I never grow. They look at me and see their future, rotting in my bloom.
I wear a red robe, with staff in hand and a stone in my throat. What am I?
I'm sometimes white and always wrong. I can break a heart and hurt the strong. I can build love and tear it down. I can make a smile, but more often bring a frown. What am I?
It's what light turns into in the night
