I started to do a description and it ended up a poem/riddle...I think this one is fairly easy....
I sparkle and gleam in the day's bright light.
I reflect your face in the darkness of night.
Smooth as silk, yet hard to the touch,
I groan and shatter if you push me too much.
Rocks and baseballs are my greatest bane.
Once hit with one, I'm never the same.
Sometimes I slide, and sometimes I lift
Fresh air and shelter are both my gift.
Sometimes you open me, sometimes I'll hide
I'm there for you, to keep your kids inside!

A window!
How fun, you made it a poem ;D
You made me contemplate the duality of window functions ;D
My favorite lines are:
"Sometimes I slide, and sometimes I lift
Fresh air and shelter are both my gift."
Awesome!

Very nice.
I'm working on one as we speak and having some trouble. Would it be cheating to choose a simpler object? lol

I am rather like a sphinx. Made of metal, I was enameled a lion-like golden taupe, faintly metallic. My forepaws neatly support a metal plate. My lines are elegant and uninterrupted from forepaws to back end (I have no tail). My haunches rise smoothly, and I hinge forward at that point, to BITE! My head is quite sturdy, and in my belly I conceal a company of sharp soldiers, mustered single file. When fed some leaves, my head slams down upon them, pinning them together against the plate on my paws.

I read the other post first, Freedom, but I'm not sure if I would have gotten it. I love the comparison though, it makes a lovely riddle ;D
