Answer:
Light me up in backyard gatherings
I belong to everyone. Sometimes make you happy, sometimes make you sad. I will never end until the day you do. What am I?
I help you carry your books.
I cannot be other than what I am, until the man who made me dies. Power and glory will fall to me, only when he last closes his eyes.
I am a food with 5 letters. If you remove the first letter I am a form of energy. Remove two and I'm needed to live. Scramble the last 3 and you can drink me down.
It flows out of the soil, It burns you if it boils, And holds us in its coils, More valuable than gold, As black as it is old.
