If only I were rich, I would travel the whole world
If I were a leader, I would serve the people
If only I were an orator, my speeches would be bold
If I were a CEO, I would be well settled
If only I were married, I would have many children
If I were a father, I would want to be a great father
If only I were a singer, I would get children to listen
If I were a good cook, I would make a great dinner
If only I were married, I would be the ideal husband
If I ever wanted to marry, I would marry a homemaker
I’d build my dream house by the lake on grandpa’s land
Walk in the forest, watch sunset, be an outdoor camper
If only I were a teenager, I would play in the rain
Make and fly a kite, spin a top or build a tree-top house
Swim naked, fish or go boating in the lake, all again
If I were a youth again, I would take up a medical course
If I were a doctor, I would serve working among the poor
Bring better living conditions, better the health standards
If I were a doctor, I would work on health wellness, for sure
Educate people on healthcare and its life-long rewards
If I were to live long, I would live my life worthwhile
I would immerse myself in some social service projects
If I had a chance, I would be a motivator changing lifestyles
If only I were a youth again I would live doing my life’s best!

The beauty of a new day, a new beginning has just begun. Every new beginning may create an opportunity for a new big thing. People have done the most fantastic things in old age. I hope, my friend sufficient health is with you, to still enjoy many of the great the things you state in this wonderful poem.
