"Congratulations"
"That's so awesome"
"You guys are starting out pretty young"
"They don't know what they're getting themselves into to"
"They can't do it on their own"
It takes a village.
"She's so beautiful"
"We have extra baby clothes if you're in need"
"Here, we made you all dinner"
"Oh, let me change her diaper"
"I know it's hard, but you'll get through it"
It takes a village.
"I know it's hard"
"She is always welcomed here"
"Your parents will be here soon, they just needed some rest"
"Your mommy said you are staying one more night"
It takes a village.
"I can't believe she's so big"
"We were all there for her first steps"
"and first words"
"and when she learned to tie her shoes"
"I helped her read her first book"
"I taught her to ride a bike"
"We were always there"
It takes a village.
"Of course, I'll take you to get your license"
"You can talk to me"
"I know being a teenager is hard"
"He's not worth the tears, he doesn't deserve you"
"We are always here"
It takes a village.
"I can't believe she's already graduating high school"
"I remember picking her up from elementary school"
"You are so smart. It was an honor being your teacher"
It takes a village.
"She is amazing, and you did so amazing with her."
And so did you, my sweet villagers.
"Your work is just about done, Mom and Dad."
And so is yours, my sweet villagers.
