This certainly maintained THIS reader's interest.
Well thought out. Written work that mentions what's to come in the latter stages indicates a degree of thought and planning and together with the sentiment and theme employed here, combine to make this an enjoyable read. Minor 'typo' in "Though it's meaning is defined" - apostrophe not required in <it's> and the title states "Your poem is Young" whereas the refrain states 'your poem is still young'. Not sure if this adds a little confusion - but I suppose it depends on how deep you want to dive into the semantics. I'm always reminded of what Billy Collins says about poem titles and their first lines...It's like stepping from a canoe onto the riverbank.

I don't do WOLOP - but if I did...

A beautiful sensitive poem, carefully thought out and full of love - and poetry.
