Hm...I agree with Seridano, although I have a few things to add. The rhyming scheme is rather bland, and your imagery is dull. In a few places it felt like there were too little or too many syllables in a line, which threw off the rhythm. Rhythm is important in poetry, so you should be careful there. To help the imagery, you could use better description words. You used simple words like "happy" and "joy" too often. It makes it seem much more...dull. More interesting words would help to catch the reader's interest, and will help you to tell less and show more.
The repetitive rhyming scheme was, to be honest, a little annoying. The rhyming of "joy" and "boy" irritated me, as it is generic and overdone. (I'm really not trying to offend, but it's true...)

This felt awkward, to me, because it used the word "heart" in two lines in a row, which I generally try to avoid. Of course, that one's more of a preference....So feel free to ignore it. XD
It's cute, and sweet, and you get brownie points for the last two lines, but when you view it as a poem...there's just not much there. Sorry.
