Here’s the second riddle in my celebration series after reaching 50 subscribers. What is the answer to this riddle? Have a guess down below. My father and mother abandoned me in this world, while I was dead. There was as yet no life, no being in me.

I believe you are a caterpillar/butterfly.
I'll admit I'm stymied by the beautiful wife. I'm tempted to say it is a tree, with perhaps the 'fewer sons and daughters' being a result of harboring/nourishing something that feeds upon her.
I don't know if I am right in sticking with the theme here, but could this describe baptism?
The kindly wife is Holy Mother Church, which nourishes the faithful. The newly baptized became a kin of spirit to the new kindred through their shared sacrament.
"Fewer beloved sons and daughters" line at the end has stumped me.
I struggle with riddles because I struggle with reading them symbolically, my answers, you will find, always try to answer the literal events given. I am certain if I am wrong, it is because the events describe something other than the events.
