Answer:
What dress does everyone have, but no one wears?
A mile from end to end, yet as close to as a friend. A precious commodity, freely given. Seen on the dead and on the living. Found on the rich, poor, short and tall, but shared among children most of all.
Iron roof, glass walls, burns and burns and never falls.
I can be quick and then I'm deadly, I am a rock, shell and bone medley. If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream, I gather in my millions By ocean, sea and stream.
Bold are the first; true are the second; playful are the third; clever are the fourth; forceful are the fifth.
Almost everyone needs it, asks for it, gives it. But almost nobody takes it.
