As Mother's Day approaches, many are searching for the perfect words to express their love and gratitude. Celebrated annually on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day in 2025 falls on May 11. This day is not only about giving gifts but also about sharing heartfelt messages, especially through platforms like WhatsApp, which has become a popular way to reach out to loved ones.
In Germany, children of all ages prepare for this special occasion, often crafting handmade gifts that reflect their affection. For those unable to be with their mothers in person, sending a thoughtful WhatsApp message is a wonderful alternative. Whether it's a funny quip or a touching sentiment, these messages can brighten a mother's day and show appreciation for her unwavering support.
For those who enjoy a bit of humor in their relationship with their mothers, here are some light-hearted WhatsApp messages that are sure to elicit a smile:
- "Mama, danke, dass du meine Socken findest, bevor sie ein eigenständiges Ökosystem entwickeln!" (Mom, thank you for finding my socks before they develop an independent ecosystem!)
- "Liebe Mama, danke für deine Geduld – besonders in meiner Pubertät, als ich dachte, ich wüsste alles besser." (Dear Mom, thank you for your patience – especially during my teenage years when I thought I knew everything better.)
- "Ohne dich, Mama, wäre mein Leben wie ein Selfie ohne Filter – einfach nicht so gut!" (Without you, Mom, my life would be like a selfie without a filter – just not as good!)
- "Liebe Mama, danke, dass du immer so getan hast, als wären meine selbstgemachten Geschenke Meisterwerke und nicht eine potenzielle Brandgefahr." (Dear Mom, thank you for always pretending my homemade gifts were masterpieces and not a potential fire hazard.)
- "Danke Mama, dass du immer rangehst, wenn ich dich anrufe – auch dann, wenn ich nur wissen will, wo die Butter steht." (Thank you, Mom, for always answering when I call – even when I just want to know where the butter is.)
However, not everyone prefers humor. For those who want to convey deeper emotions, heartfelt messages can be the perfect choice. Here are some touching WhatsApp messages that express genuine appreciation:
- "Liebe Mama, deine bedingungslose Liebe hat mich zu dem Menschen gemacht, der ich heute bin. Danke für alles." (Dear Mom, your unconditional love has made me the person I am today. Thank you for everything.)
- "Liebe Mama, an diesem besonderen Tag möchte ich dir sagen, wie unendlich dankbar ich für deine Stärke, Weisheit und Liebe bin." (Dear Mom, on this special day, I want to tell you how infinitely grateful I am for your strength, wisdom, and love.)

- "Liebe Mama, in deinen Augen bin ich immer noch dein Kind, in meinen Augen bist du eine Heldin. Danke für deine unermüdliche Liebe." (Dear Mom, in your eyes, I am still your child; in my eyes, you are a hero. Thank you for your tireless love.)
- "Mama, deine Liebe ist das größte Geschenk in meinem Leben. Heute und jeden Tag bin ich dankbar, dich als Mutter zu haben." (Mom, your love is the greatest gift in my life. Today and every day, I am grateful to have you as my mother.)
In addition to messages, many also turn to poetry to express their feelings. The tradition of reciting poems on Mother's Day is cherished by many, and these verses can add a personal touch to any WhatsApp message:
- "Worte sind klein, Gefühle sind groß, / Deine Liebe lässt mich nie los. / Heute, Mama, ist dein Ehrentag, / Ich lieb dich mehr, als ich sagen mag." (Words are small, feelings are big, / Your love never lets me go. / Today, Mom, is your special day, / I love you more than I can say.)
- "Hände, die trösten, Arme, die halten, / Ein Herz, das liebt in tausend Gestalten. / Danke, Mama, für all deine Gaben, / Die mich durchs Leben getragen haben." (Hands that comfort, arms that hold, / A heart that loves in a thousand forms. / Thank you, Mom, for all your gifts, / That have carried me through life.)
- "Wie ein Lied, das leise klingt, / Deine Liebe mich umschlingt. / Mama, heute feier‘ ich nur dich, / du bedeutest alles für mich." (Like a song that sounds softly, / Your love envelops me. / Mom, today I celebrate only you, / You mean everything to me.)
- "Sterne leuchten in der Nacht, / Wie deine Liebe, die mich bewacht. / Mama, an diesem besonderen Tag, / Zeig‘ ich dir, wie gern ich dich mag." (Stars shine in the night, / Like your love that watches over me. / Mom, on this special day, / I show you how much I like you.)
- "Wie ein Kompass auf hoher See, / Zeigst du mir den Weg bei Sturm und Schnee. / Mama, du bist mein sicherer Ort, / Mein Zuhause, mein Heimatport." (Like a compass on the high seas, / You show me the way in storm and snow. / Mom, you are my safe place, / My home, my harbor.)
As Mother's Day approaches, many are also considering gifts. One thoughtful yet simple idea is to bake heart-shaped macarons, a delicious treat that can complement any heartfelt message.
Ultimately, whether through humor, heartfelt words, or poetry, Mother's Day serves as a reminder to celebrate and cherish the incredible mothers in our lives. This year, as May 11 approaches, take the time to express your love and gratitude in whatever way feels right.
