Abby: Footprints poem source of inspiration, comfort for reader

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago I read a lovely parable in your.column that moved me so 1 clipped it to save Recently 1 came across a poem with the identical theme. It was obviously inspired by the parable you published. 1 found the poem even more beautiful than the prose and hope you find it worthy of publication in your column. VTKKI GREENE, SANTA ROSA, CALIF. GOD’S FOOTPRINTS hv Ken Brown One night in deepest sleep, I dreamed, Upon the beach I walked. The Lord was by my side each step As quietly we talked. Then on the sky my life appeared; Each chapter was serene. Two sets of footprints in the sand I saw in every scene. And then I noticed in some parts Of discontent and strife, Just a single pair of footprints In the worst times of my life.

It’s the second time around for both of us. Now for the problem: When we make love, Edith makes me wear an undershirt. Why? Because I have “Gretchen” tattooed on my chest above my heart. (Gretchen was my first wife.) Edith knew I had Gretchen on my chest when she married me, but it didn’t bother her. Now, it’s either cover up Gretchen or no lovemaking. I am not used to wearing anything to bed, but unless I want to go right

to sleep 1 have to wear an undershirt. Is there some way to remove a tattoo? I’ve had it since I was 20, and now I’m 41. HENRY IN ELIZABETH, N.J. DEAR HENRY: There are several techniques available. See a board-certified dermatologist and prepare for some more needling. A bleaching solution can be injected under the skin with a needle. (It’s like being tattooed in reverse.) * * * DEAR ABBY: I have picked up some very helpful safety tips from your column, so I’m submitting one you may want to pass along to your readers. The subject is grandfather clocks.

This typo of clock is very top-heavy, so I recommend that anyone who has one or is planning to purchase one, fasten it to the wall so it won’t fall over. Our 2-year-old daughter was opening the door to our grandfather clock when it fell on her and cut her head open. We rushed her to the hospital where she had to have 12 stitches to close the wound. Fortunately, she is young and recovered quickly, but I shudder to think how much worse it could have been. CINDY CURTIS, HOQUIAM, WASH. DEAR CINDY: Thanks for the tip. Parents: One expects a grandfather clock to strike 12, but to prevent it from striking one precious child, anchor it to the wall.
