Riddle of the Day

[Gizmokid2005]

I'm tall when I'm young,
Short when I'm old,
with light I do glow,
breath is my foe.

What am I?

ANSWER (Congrats Cauzomb!): A Candle.

NEXT RIDDLE:

I weaken all men for hours each day.
I show you strange visions while you are away.
I take you by night, by day you take back,
none suffer to have me, but do from my lack.
What am I?
