"Dear diary,

 

I have wonderful news, our baby is born! He is the most beautiful baby on this Earth, and I can already see that he is a brave little boy indeed. I've named him after a strong adventurous man we all much admire, Admiral Michiel de Ruyter.

 

When my letter arrives, Joseph will be over the moon with joy at the birth of our precious boy."

 

I have seem

Our beautiful dream

And it came to life

Filled with joy

A wonderful story to tell

I can see clouds dissolve

And the sun show her smile

When I see the wonders

Inside the eyes of Michiel

 

Mesmerized by the glory before me

I fill with pride

May there be a hero no less in his name

You will feel the power

Revealed in the circle of life

When you see wonders

Inside the eyes of Michiel

 

In his eyes, I can see the path of our lives

Endless and bright, wherever we go

He’ll show us the way, never to stay

 

In his eyes

Far beyond the measure of time

Lead us the way

In ever shining light

 

Michiel and I

Forever as one, we’re invincible

We’ll rejoice the glorious day you return

No more fear, sorrow or tears

Will darken our world

When we see the wonders

Inside the eyes of Michiel

 

In his eyes, I can see his paradise

Heartbreak and pain melting away

Devoted to faith, never to beak

 

In his eyes, I can see forever inside

Lead us the way

Our destiny in sight
