FIRST COMMUNION

-The Communion is a very good thing

Because you receive the Lord

Mom said.

Although the day before

We went to put bunches of flowers

To decorate the altar

Of the parish church

I knew this was a story

Because my friend “Boca negra” had told me

That they were Milan wafers.

They called him “Boca negra”

Because he was always eating

Sweet coal

Like the one that had been given to him

Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men

When he was little.

He was the one who told us

That the Three Wise Men

Were our parents.

Before our mom took us

To take the first Communion

(Our dad couldn’t

Because he was on duty)

She ignored

The religious order of not eating anything

Before going to take Communion

She gave us for breakfast

Cocoa with milk and churros (fritters)

And a Swiss roll with chocolate

For after taking Communion.

When we arrived at the Church

They were already giving Communion

To all the boys and girls

And the Mass to finish.

An excellent glow

We saw them come down from the altarpiece

With two beautiful angels

Who took us by the hand

To accompany us to take Communion

Telling us in our ear with a kiss:

-Do not be afraid.

Because you have not sinned

By having breakfast before taking Communion.

For this reason do not be sad at all

Because Jesus loves you

Because your souls are

Full of eternal glory.

After taking Communion

We gave them

Our Swiss rolls and chocolate.

The angels told us as we left:

We are going to give this to God

For a snack.

You will see how happy he is!
