Nothing wrong with basing a tune on a repeated simple chord progression.

Do it right and you give the listener a subliminal 'hook' especially if

it's hummable.

I like what you've done here. The lyrics are the song, the progression

is the scaffold. I think you have introduced just enough variation, to

keep it interesting without taking people's attention away from the

song.
After the second listen it's teetering on the brink of my 'keep'

folder :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
