If I Were John Or Mary

If I had lived two thousand years ago
 and were I John or Mary
I would have had the Lord's ear
 or rather He, 
 mine.
But I live now
 in constant search and question
 of this reality in which I live.
Because of you
 I sense His existence
 His words and actions.
Your care, kindness and love
 allows me to believe
 that He lives within us.
If I had lived in that past
 perhaps my faith would be stronger
 never wondering or questioning.
But I live now
 and see only 
 what is before me,
You.
