Answer:
I come in different colors and shapes. Some parts of me are curvy some are straight. You can put me anywhere you like but there is only one right place for me.
Before I grow I'm small. When I'm old I grow tall. When I die I give a mighty fall.
With a halo of water and a tongue of wood, stone as skin long I stood. What am I?
Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will show we always will meet.
I have a name that's not mine and no one cares about me in their prime. People cry at my sight and lie by me all day and night.
Though not a plant, has leaves. Though not a beast, has spine. Though many wouldn't need this thing, It's more valuable than wine.
