This is a well-crafted poem. It is not easy to write in the form, but you have tackled it very well.

Fritz, its not bad, but for a rhyming poem there are a lot of speed bumps...ie, words that don't fit into the flow of the poem. Whenever a poem is set to rhyme it's melodic purpose is to flow from start to finish. You might want to consider losing the words with hard or extended sounds.
I also notice that some of the rhymes are a bit contrived...too easy, as a reader I was almost saying them before they even arrived, which makes it too easy to skip through the poem rather than read for meaning.
When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more.
P.S. The title is listed on Amazon under Look for Something Good by Robert Drews (not by Robert H. Drews)
