Under the Shadow of His Wings

By Larry Duce Cobb

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Mr. Cobb does an exceptional job in simplifying the complexity of lifes lessons. From personal experiences, frequent spiritual awakenings, quick wittedness and shrewdness throughout his writing.

This book has much to acclaim it by way of worth, quality and depth. It shows that Mr. Cobb was consistent in communicating details having more to offer than merely dry composed words.

It shows deep feelings, emotions and points of view in a rhythmic form. His choice of words is not to make them rhyme but to freely flow.

It is with this in mind that I invite you to read and enjoy this awesome publication by Mr. Larry Duce Cobb. Get comfortable, prepare yourself for a pleasurable feast for the mind and learn from lifes experiences as coming from the words of this great author/poet/survivor and man of God.

I ask, waiting for an answer, I knock, praying its heard, I seek, hoping to find the promises of God on time

Larry Duce Cobb

Mr. Larry “Duce” Cobb was born in Covington, Georgia. As a child his family relocated to Boston Massachusetts where life for him as he knew it began. Within life’s ups and downs through conversations, he could paint a picture that could be seen and felt. Unbeknownst to him, it was a spring that brought forth the water from the well. Now it is seen and felt within the spoken word through the stories/poems he tells. He has been writing since 1993. Through the Grace of God, he has performed at many open mike events. Some stage performances and on many and any street corners where there are many listeners. He has recorded a TEN (10) track CD, as well as a seventeen (17) track CD. All of this is and was inspired by the words of his loving Mother, Ms. Addie J. Cobb. (May God Bless Her Soul) “I can hear her saying, Write a book.” Places he has performed at include; UMass Boston, The opening act for R&B Legends, The Whispers, The Mighty Clouds of Joy at the Cambridge World’s Fair, Dennis Edwards and The Temptations Review, The Bowery Poetry Club in New York City for Bruce George, and the BNN Community Access TV Station in Boston Mass. As well as roles in movies, Hood life and Life, love, and lost by Anthony Todd Walker. Also an appearance in Gone Baby Gone by Ben Affleck Artists who have inspired him are: Maya Angelou, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke, James Brown, and Barry White, B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland and a host of others. Mr. Cobb was also the winner of the New England Urban Music Awards for Best Male Spoken Word Artist in 2007, and 2008. God gave him a gift so he wants to give to others what God gave to him. He is also still willing to accept opportunities

Date 2000

ON GOD WE CAN LEAN ON

The fear of the unknown

When one’s health is the concern

Some freeze, others panic

With feelings, they’re all alone

O how wrong, O how wrong

Our faith is, the hope

Of things unseen to come

I believe, God’s will, will be done

It’s always the darkest,

Before the dawn

On GOD we can lean on

Good time with GOD

To tighten the bond

Because when people fail

On GOD we can lean on…
