Answer:
I was was before was was was.
I go up and never come down no matter how hard you wish. As I get higher more wrinkles crawl onto your face.
I march before armies a thousand salute me. My fall can bring victory but no one would shoot me. The wind is my lover one-legged am I. Name me and see me at home in the sky.
I am lighter than the material I am made of. You see parts of me but more of me is hidden underneath.
I break away from my pack. I create holes in my victims. I can travel for miles and then disappear. I am part of a dying breed. What am I?
Sugar on a stick. The kids love licking them
