Thank You Mr. President

Thank you Mr. President


For your visit to my country and for the feelings,
You expressed, on behalf of the people of America.
Thank you for understanding and telling us,
About the real beauties of my country.

You have seen only a part of it,
Many of my nation’s great human values,
Are yet to be witnessed and seen by the world.

Although you have not responded to my suggestions,
I sent to you, when you became most admired Mr. President,
I am quite happy that at least, you have adopted some of them,
Your love and affection and good wishes for the people of India,
Will never go in vain, as you would find us always side by side,
For all the good and humanitarian causes of America and 
You would find us with you, 
If your country would really need,  a good sincere friend like India. 

We really admire the mesmerizing quality of your intelligence and speech,
The warmness and affection of your love for Gandhi and Peace,
The depths of your feelings for my fellow citizens and your understanding that
India and US are not only, the world’s largest democracies but,
They are born natural allies. 

We also admire and are grateful for the love and affection,
Shown by Mrs. Michelle Obama, the first lady of US and by the,
Peace loving people of America. 

Thank you Mr. President, for visiting my country, and 
For becoming our most honored guest.

The people of India seem very intelligent, industrious and warm hearted, Ravindra. I see that in your work as well as Dr. Ram's. I am so grateful the United States has a good relationship with India and hope the president's visit strengthens that bond. Written beautifully from your precious heart! (And I admire Michelle Obama as well.) Love, Carolyn
