Delilah Locklear Landrum

Charlotte, North Carolina, USA

Well, the first thing that I can say about myself is that I'm a "Native American Indian", of the Lumbee Tribe in Pembroke, North Carolina, But I now reside in Charlotte, North Carolina.I was born to a Locklear Family of six children on a farm. Two things I loved doing when I was growing up were singing and artwork. I married quite young and was blessed with three wonderful children, and now three grand-children.I'm a member of the Native American United Methodist Church, where I serve and hold worship for the many gifts God gives us.

The Agony Of It All

When will it end, the suffering and pain,
The cries for help, O such little it's plain.
We do what we must, but is it all what we can, till we come-up
With a cure in somebodys' land.
They are only human and our fellowman.
Someone give us a miracle, they need a helping hand.
Now it's still out there, just waiting you see,
As we all stand helpless and begging...Please!
It has no preference, as we all plainly see,
Oh God, grant us a miracle or has it already been seen.
If this is so, where is the gleam?
The gleam should be shining in everyone's dreams.
But the "Agony of it all" is so plain to se, that we are all
Still waiting from "Sea" to "Sea".
