What did I go out to see?

What did I go out to see?
A reed swayed by the wind?
A man dressed in fine clothes?
No!
Those who dress in fine clothes are in the Kings’ palaces
But
 I did go to see a Prophet
Yes,
 More than a Prophet
But
 not more than a Man.
A prophet who was the greatest born of a Woman.
I did see this rugged looking man with Camels hair
A Leather belt around His waist
With locusts and Wild Honey for His food.
I did see him preach and reach 
Baptize and teach proclaiming and
Preparing the way for a King.
