A mile from end to end, yet as close to as a friend. A precious commodity, freely given. Found on the rich, poor, short and tall, but shared among children most of all. What is it?

@lazyKatz

Yes, that's it! The mile from end to end makes even more sense if you write it as 'smiles', but it's correct yes

My land is lightless, locked within

A stand of sturdy, impenetrable walls.

Yet soon I sail a salty tide

To help my host when harm befalls.

What am I?

@ladylazarus1971

That's actually a very good gues, and I will give it to you with that. The original answer was white blood cells, but it was a bit far-fetched.

I am so simple,

That I can only point

Yet I guide men

All over the world

What/who am I?

What can run, but never walks;

Has a mouth, but never talks;

Has a head, but never weeps;

Has a bed, but never sleeps?

My armor gleams in the sun

Polished scales one by one

A knight who travels without legs

But wriggles forth, in land of rain

Though a blade adorns my back

It

@mikhaela

Its does fit the riddle quite well, but it's not the original answer. Because this riddles hasn't been answered for quite a while I will give the answer so we can continue. The answer I was looking for is fish smiley

A dog actually fits the riddle quite well, but it's not the answer I'm looking for.
