Always growing,
Never shrinking.
Always thought of,
Never thinking.
Always trod on,
Loved forever.
Always sleeping
Dreaming never.
Who am I?
Edit: I added 4 more lines to the riddle to make it less broad.

1$\begingroup$ @Flying_whale I thought some might say that. I'm happy to add some clarification if I see lots of incorrect, but plausible answers coming in. $\endgroup$– jared.nesbitCommented Jan 21, 2019 at 22:12

Is the answer
People who have died?
It seems to fit every line quite closely
Always growing, / Never shrinking.
The total number of people who have died is always increasing and always will (barring a zombie apocalypse)
Always thought of, / Never thinking.
We think of those who have died, but they don't think
Always trod on, Loved forever.
Maybe not exactly trod on, but underground
Always sleeping / Dreaming never.
Again, pretty self explanatory

$\begingroup$ Close! But how do you explain the "Always growing, never shrinking"? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 17:04

$\begingroup$ The technically correct answer was "A Graveyard". But this is close enough! Great job. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 16:19

Possibly a story told or
History
Always growing, Never shrinking.
History increases as time unfolds.
Always thought of, Never thinking.
We think of past times, but they are history.

$\begingroup$ Really good guess. I think my original riddle was too broad, so I added 4 more lines. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 15:42

I will give a try then :)
it may be
the sun
Always growing,
The sun is growing while burning its hydrogen
Never shrinking.
it's growing, not shrinking
Always thought of,
many civilization had the sun in the center of their life, for some, it was a god. furthermore, we see it everyday
Never thinking.
obviously, a star doesn't think

$\begingroup$ Not quite! I went ahead and added more lines to the riddle to help narrow it down. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 15:45

Maybe
human knowledge
Or
the universe.
There are too many possible options, in my opinion.
