Lithium
In 1817, my presence was revealed
“It shall be named after ‘Lithos,’” my finder said
With my discovery, his ego was fed
And my desire to be found was finally healed
In my normal state, I am as lustrous as a shield
Combined with fire, I glow a burning red
When I’m mixed with water, my surroundings become dead
And so I am stored in a way that’s concealed
In a rather quick manner, I was put to good use
My abilities and power helped make me well-known
Without me, technology would be under review
I help give those who need it energy juice
This trait is wonderful for charging your phone
I am a replenisher of life; I make things new
