Sculpted in Bronze

I got the copper    
from my mother
evolving naturally  
in ore and dirt  
a phenomenon    
born in pink-orange    
when buffed    
polished and shined  
quite breathtaking    
when threatened    
she pulls moisture    
from air to oxidize  
and protect herself  
A metal mineral    
prescription for protection    
of one's soul    
from corrosion  
   
I got tin from my    
father who lathers  
in resistance from age  
Never one to  
corrode or oxidize    
as well as    
light and pliable  
He shines a silver glare  
that does not fade  
Also named after the  
Etruscan God Tinia  
Their marriage    
of metallurgy  
in 3300 BC    
gave birth to me    
Pictographic writing  
soon followed    
and evolved  
   
I'm still here    
uncorrupted  
by time  
Civilization has    
progressed and    
I'm still here  
Strong in bronze  
Fusing with poetry  
Precious metal words  
that have been sculpted  
chiseled and carved  
a combination of  
alloyed phrases being  
smelted together  
to mold pictures  
and engrave emotions  
A casted bible of poems  
shaped by god  
sculpted in bronze
