That Day Back In 1975

As a child, you are the only man I wanted.
The father I never knew.
The thought.  
It aches  to lose you at such a tender age.
The unknowning.
It hurts so much not to understand.
Why ? Is the question , I am asking.
Why was you taken from me ?
Why was you the one fated to die, on that day ?
I guess death will always remain the mystery of life.
To mer mortals anyway.
