To repent means to turn away from something and toward something else. Ask yourself:
Have I repented or simply sought forgiveness?
Have I truly turned away from my sin?
Have I turned to God or my own strength?

Taken from deeper words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m klem, page 48.
There is not a lot of money in poetry or childrens books (unless you are the President). I am looking forward to writing a novel or book of modern parables. That would be fun.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
a simple man of God
