The old African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" is based on the belief that it takes an entire community to raise a child. Just one child. I agree.
I also believe it takes a village to raise a family.
It takes a village to raise a confident, calm and caring mother. She cannot do it alone.
It takes a village to raise a strong, responsible and affectionate father. He cannot do it alone.
It takes a village to create a safe haven in which families can thrive and grow together. They cannot do it alone.
It takes a friendly smile when all else is lost.
It takes a helping hand when everything seems out of reach.
It takes an open ear when everything seems distant.
It takes a generous heart to fill the depleted heart.
Yes, it takes a village.
It takes a village to raise a mother, a father and children.
It takes a village to understand, to support and to love.
It takes a village to feel supported.
It takes a village to not feel alone.
It just takes a village.
