"As soon as my eyes fell on the old chest nestled between boxes and suitcases in the corner of the attic, I knew I'd found something significant. Made of dark wood, intricately carved, its metal fittings exquisitely hand crafted, the chest was a relic of an era long past.
It contained only one item: a small book, its brown leather cover cracked ans crumbling. It looked like a diary.
As I gently lifted it from where it has rested for who knows how long, a packet of letters fell from between its pages.
My mind raced without a thousand questions:
Who did the diary belong to ?
What stories might be waiting inside?
As I reached out to open it, I realized i was holding my breath..."

"Dear diary,
My name is Susanne. My beloved husband Joseph, whom I love above all earthly things, has just sailed out on another long voyage to the Far East.
Oh how I miss him already!
But I must be strong.
May God preserve him and return him safely home to me, with tells of wonders and adventures to tell.
Until then it will bring me comfort to freely express my feeling in your pages."

Ras! Aan boord!
Your ship has left the harbour
On her way to distant shores
May her arms protect you
When the gale wind roars
Your ship has left the harbour
On her way to distant shores
May her arms protect you
When the gale wind roars
What I’d give to hold you
In my arms and be together
On the sea of hope we sail
Calling saints and angels
To guide you on your trail
In my arms and be together
On the sea of hope we sail
Calling saints and angels
To guide you on your trail
[Chorus]
Ras! Aan boord trossen los!
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
Ras! Aan boord trossen los!
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
you'll be back from the endless sea
I vow to be courageous
Not allow myself undone
A gentle storm within me
My vigil has begun
Not allow myself undone
A gentle storm within me
My vigil has begun
What I’d give to hold you
In my arms and be together
Though the waves have drown you in
My everlasting love for you
Will keep you safe within
In my arms and be together
Though the waves have drown you in
My everlasting love for you
Will keep you safe within
[Chorus]
Ras! Aan boord trossen los!
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
You’ll be back from the endless sea
Ras! Aan boord trossen los!
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
You’ll be back from the endless sea
Ras! Aan boord trossen los!
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
You’ll be back from the endless sea
One look at you and you
Light up the sky and my emotions
Hijs Het zeil anker op!
Return to me from the mist
Of the endless sea
You’ll be back from the endless sea
