Post edit function needs added but how and where?

[Diversified Woman]

I need to add the link to appear in my "posts" that says "Edit" because for some reason this is not appearing at the bottom of each post like did with the "former themes" I've used. 
I am assuming it goes into my functions.php file (child theme?) as [post_edit] but just don't know the correct formatted way to insert inot the actual functions.php code. 
Can someone let me know how this should display? Thanks. 🙂
 /** Customize the post meta function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter' );
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
    $post_meta = '[post_date]';
    return $post_meta;
}}

Add [post_edit] after [post_date] in the function you included

Hi Sozo,

So like so with the " " on both sides of it?

 /** Customize the post meta function */
add_filter( ‘genesis_post_meta’, ‘post_meta_filter’ );
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
    $post_meta = ‘[post_date]' '[post_edit]' ;
    return $post_meta;
}}

[post_edit]

No, both shortcodes, and anythign else you want output, goes within the single quotes
