Morse highlights a teenager s wish about how he wants to lead his teenage life. The speaker, a teenager, expresses that he has to make important decisions about the path that he would take in life. The speaker is aware that one road leads to success while the other one, i.e. the path of evil, would lead him to distress. He urges God to help him keep his eyes open, so that he can see clearly and stand for the things that are righteous. The teenager wants to bring out his best qualities, resist temptations and stay healthy. He is sure that at the end of his teens, he would be pleased to have lived a good life, free of any vices or evils, with God s constant guidance.
