I resemble a grain of sugar, but I do not taste sweet. You can enhance your food with me.

I can ring, but I cannot call. People use me to let you know they're here.

I eat light along with other things. I am very attractive and once I have you in my grasp I never let you go. I am hard to see and hard to find but you can still tell that I am there by how others react to my presence.

I have a soul and tongue but am not alive. Although i protect those who use me, i get stepped on and am looked down upon.

You can count on me, In a church or a tree, To give you direction Or number your sin
