After reading the posts about poems, I thought that i would try to do one from my own feels and heart. This is my first time doing this so I hope that it makes sense even though it does not rhyme, so here goes.
I can see you struggling right now, things that once were familiar to you have changed, leaving to feel a little lost, scared and worried. Dont worry I'm here with you,though you may feel alone your not, I will walk this journey with you and hold your hand every step of the way! At the end of the day as I sit back to try to relax a single tear slides down my cheek it makes my heartache to see you struggle this way. As the tear silently course down my face, I can remember your strong hands,and how gentle your touch was when you wiped the tears from my face.I know you love me as I can see it in your eyes. As each day brings challenges and new frustrations for both of us. You answered all of my questions as a child, now that I'm grown it's my turn to answer your questions, even though this will pose a challenge for me, I'm answering this challenge with all the love and support I have, With arms wide open to do this to the BEST of my ability. I LOVE YOU DAD!

It is certainly hard to watch our loved one(s) lose so much of what they had. Your poem shows that you remember and you care so much for your father.
Perhaps you should be posting this in the poem forum: http://alzheimers.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/204109581
And when you do, make I make a humble suggestion? It may be easier to read if you break up your sentences with putting some of your beautiful thoughts on different lines.
I'm playing editor here, and believe me, I am not qualified, but I put your words in this form. If you agree, you can copy this and paste it when you post it again on Musings.

Here goes:

I can see you struggling right now.
Things that once were familiar to you
have changed,
leaving you to feel a little lost, scared and worried.
Dont worry.
I'm here with you.
Though you may feel alone,
You’re not.
I will walk this journey with you
and hold your hand every step of the way!
At the end of the day as I sit back to try to relax,
a single tear slides down my cheek.
It makes my heartache to see you struggle this way.
As the tear silently courses down my face,
I can remember your strong hands
and how gentle your touch was
when you wiped the tears from my face.
I know you love me, as I can see it in your eyes.
As each day brings challenges
and new frustrations for both of us.
You answered all of my questions as a child,
now that I'm grown it's my turn to answer your questions.
Even though this will pose a challenge for me,
I'm answering this challenge
with all the love and support I have.
With arms wide open
to do this to the BEST of my ability.

I LOVE YOU DAD!
