Inserting Text In Specific Location Using Shell Script

Hello,

I am running a script on about 30 machines and need to insert text after
a specific comment. For example:

#comment 1

#comment 2

#comment 3

I want to add text after #comment 2, on a new line. I have been trying
to work with both sed and awk but no success. This has to be done in
bash or sh and cannot be done in any other language. Any ideas?
