Mother's Day 2025 falls on Sunday, May 11th.
A day that is more than just a date on the calendar. It is a moment to pause and feel: There is someone who has been with us from the very first breath – with warmth, strength, and boundless love.
But how do you say thank you for a love that is both so self-evident and yet so infinite? Sometimes words fail us. That's when poems help – or small gestures that come from the heart.
At Swaravo, we believe that words and symbols can go hand in hand. That's why you’ll find lovingly selected Mother's Day gifts that you can pair with these german poems – whether as an engraving, card, or small reminder for the heart.
