Hello Terf,
The poem you are looking for is titled My Policeman by Rose Fyleman. A
quick search using the lines you provided immediately showed the
answer. Google Web search showed only one link which when clicked will

Here's the complete poem:
MY POLICEMAN
By Rose Fyleman
He is always standing there
At the corner of the Square;
He is very big and fine
And his silver buttons shine.
All the carts and taxis do
Everything he tells them to,
And the little errand boys
When they pass him make no noise.
Though I seem so very small
I am not afraid at all;
He and I are friends, you see,
And he always smiles at me.
Once I wasn't very good
Rather near to where he stood,
But he never said a word
Though I'm sure he must have heard.
Nurse has a policeman too
(Hers has brown eyes, mine has blue),
Hers is sometimes on a horse,
But I like mine best of course.
