I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on it.

It’s a singable tune, and the harmony is generally enjoyable. A few things: The chord change from ms. 6 to 7 feels a bit weak, probably since all the parts are moving in the same direction. The change to major at the end seems very abrupt. Maybe if it could transition sooner, such as in ms. 19, it would be better. The final cadence feels like it ought to be stronger, such as a classic authentic cadence with the semi-final chord in root position.
