The poem is fine. Its more than fine its a good work of literature. Stick to what you know. If rhyme is where you find your flow and comfort work with it. Don't feel the need to experiment with other forms unless you feel inspired to do so. Not on the basis that another poet called your style amateur or cliche. Not to say you would its just I've seen this situation a few times, and it led to a great deal of frustration.
True there is a finite number of words that exist in the English language however the vast majority of people only know about 30% of the language at any given time in their life. So I think you have some breathing room. On top of that once you feel you've exhausted your vocabulary there is always syllables and flow to play around with. If rhyme is your thing stick with it, the fact that you can make a good rhyming poem is only a testament to your skill and talent, not your inexperience.
